# 🥾 Walk 6 - Aldbourne and Ramsbury

Nine people attended our sixth walk on a scorching August Sunday. 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.

We started by heading eastward and upward from Adbourne, through Ford Farm toward Baydon Manor.

Next 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.

After 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.

Just 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. See the route on Google Maps.
