    Surely I am not alone in feeling I am waking up to some truly bewildering material here.

    Massive credit to GT for remaining calm and reasonable throughout.

    It’s a nice historic location for a walk, with a Point-to-Point racecourse included.

    Ricky asked for photos, should I have ignored him because we disagree over Covid jabs?

    And why exclude other forumites when there is a racing angle to this?

    And, anyway, it’s The Lounge!

    And why am I even explaining/justifying myself when I am not obliged to?

    Off to have a word with myself now over that!

    Alan King’s stable is located ar Barbury Castle and whilst I was employed there I often walked my dog around the “castle” and along The Ridgeway. I’m sure it would be lovely on a summer’s day but my sojourn was from October to February, it is quite exposed on top of the castle (shivering emoticon inserted here).

    I’m enjoying watching those utube walks, especially as Storm Arwen hasn’t quite gone away and I don’t really want to leave the warmth of the living room.

    Mad as a balloon.

    That said, I’m currently in a field in Kent amid torrential rain, so I’ve little room to talk.

    “Give it one last go, you might ‘win’”

    Win what?
    A night out with Tank?

    Nice video Gingerboots. Pleasing to see that you, like me, appear to be an ambler rather than a rambler: 10 minutes hoof, 5 minutes gaze…repeat and repeat

    I know little of the Ridgeway other than a short stretch to the west of Avebury which took me up onto the downs near Beckhampton; and this must have been well over thirty years ago as I recall seeing horses out and about and wondering if they were some of Jeremy Tree’s string

    Further south, the train journey from Paddington to the south west takes you past the white horse on the scarp near Westbury and on each of the numerous times I’ve trundled past have promised myself a walk up, along and over those hills, but have yet to do it :unsure:

    So much to see, so much to do :good:

    BigG that is a bizarre question. The honest truth is I don’t know, as I’ve never had any. Common-sense theories, yes :yes:

    Whisper itfolks

    BIG G. has escaped from the circus

    The cruel ringmaster had him attending to all the elephant poo

    And thus when he arrives here in this room of repose

    He wants to start a scrap

    Poor boy

    I’d avoid the Ridgeway, Drone. Like many byways, much of it ruined by 4 X 4 drivers.

    If you’re looking for youtube walks from the comfort of your living room, Moehat; can recommend Tea in Valhalla. Hope you’re keeping warm out of the storms.

    We’re back down south now. But I keep expecting the power to go off at any moment!
