14 years on and we are attempting again to complete a yomp from around the Salisbury area to the Reading area along the Ridgeway. Last time Jimmy and I did this we were a spritely 18 and fit as fiddles from daily exercise. It is a slightly different story now and the excuses have started before we have even begun! Although we are going to be doing this in as close to a "Ray Mears" style as possible I am sure we will be unable to resist some of the creature comforts we have grown accustomed to in our advancing years. I have also been informed by my yomping colleague Jimmy that the Ridgeway comes Perilously close to a number of pubs along the route (purely for rehydration purposes of course)
