No rain forecast for today and the temperatures looked to be reasonable as well so.... time to get a breakfast.
Decided on Choppers Cafe, just outside Marlborough in Wiltshire.
It's about 80 miles from home, so off to the Mendip Hills, over to Frome, then past Longleat to Warminster. From there it is up and over Salisbury Plain and eventually onto the A303 past Stone Henge. A quick blip up the A303 dual carriageway, then off towards Tidworth and a few miles on Choppers Cafe.
There seems to be a thriving population of Raptors in the area. I saw a lot of Red Kites, a few Kestel's and then spotted a circling Sparrow Hawk.
Breakfast was tasty, hot and hearty. Just the job.
When I left I spotted a 19 plate 650 outside. I guess the owner is not a member here as he would have seen my 2015 L4 outside, but didn't say anything.
I took a different route home and sort of headed in an approximate homeward direction. For the first half and hour I had no real clue where I was, then I recognised a farm and looked over my left shoulder, sure enough, there was one of the eight Wiltshire white horses that can be seen from a road... I think there are 13 or so in total.
After being delightfully 'lost' on fast, deserted B roads, (what a treat), I finally found myself in familiar surroundings, although not quite where I thought I would end up.
Back past Stone Henge (not the plan at all), and pretty much a reverse of the moring outward journey.
Total miles about 185.
