Youngest brother J youngest sister S and I decided to a trip to Avebury this week. As the trip would involve a fair deal of walking, J's wife and mrs maytrees decided that this awayday would not be for them.
S traveled to our meeting point at the local pub by train and bus whereas J and I went by car from his house near Guildford. J had visited the site quite recently whereas my previous trip there had been years back enroute probably from holiday in Cornwall.
The car journey to Avebury took about ninety minutes with free parking there for National Trust members. We all met at the Red Lion Pub near to the stone circles and enjoyed a tasty lunch together with a drink or two.
J had selected our walking trip which with small map reading errors, covered about six miles.
Age as well as Covid-19, are making their mark on me at least, but we completed the interesting and enjoyable walk, returning back to Avebury Village in time for tea and sandwiches at the nearby National Trust tea shop. The weather by then was warm enough for us to enjoy at a table outside.
The journey home was uneventful - a most interesting day away.
