Temperatures reached 28°C in the afternoon and with over 300m of ascent (not all at once) it was quite a day, but the excellent views were well worth the slog.\n\nWe started by heading eastward and upward from Adbourne, through Ford Farm toward Baydon Manor.\n\n![Heading East out of Aldbourne](https://www.berksww.org.uk/scrapbooks/volume1/images/aldbourne1.jpg)\n\nNext we headed down to Crowood Farm and then on to Ramsbury, finding a place in the shade to stop off for our picnic lunch on the way.\n\nAfter spending the best part of an hour taking refreshment and relaxing in the garden of a pub in Ramsbury, we set off back to Aldbourne. The return journey took a more direct route that headed north through Love's Copse and Southward Down before descending into Aldbourne.\n\n![Passing through a wheat field on Ford Farm on the way to Baydon](https://www.berksww.org.uk/scrapbooks/volume1/images/aldbourne2.jpg)\n\nJust as I thought I'd mastered my GPS, I made a school-boy error. The battery went flat during the walk because I hadn't recharged it recently! Luckily a new member of our group had recorded the route on his phone. Thanks Mel.
