Salisbury to Alresford (47.29 mi)

Camped just a few miles away, it was a quick ride over to Stonehenge! We had been looking forward to this and it was great to finally see this iconic site.  Got to ride the bikes from the visitor center all the way to the stones.  


While there we chatted up a fellow cycle tourist named Juergen who we had met the night before at the campground. When we were done taking it all in, we took a backroad (mostly gravel) out of the site. Apparently google maps saw this and thought we loved gravel roads and we spent the rest of the day trying to negotiating some pretty rough terrain.


The 47 miles felt a lot longer and we were glad to get the tent set up as the rain was starting. We were so exhausted we were glad to eat dinner in the tent. 

Pro Tip: When you don’t want to carry a heavy glass jar of jelly, this works just as well (and is probably healthier).
