I thought to myself I'll take a look at the white horse hill figures located in Wiltshire county this spring. It seemed I could fit snugly into a two day long hike
the once I haven't seen before, so 6 out of the 8. My gear didn't prove to be the best choice either for the season or the terrain, especially that the temperature dropped close to zero during dawn, also my boots were definitely not designed for such an intense hike. This was a useful experience for my later trips.
The whole journey including the nearby sights on top the hill figures totalled to 67 kms. Here are the pics from the two days:
