What a great day. 82 miles of beautiful countryside. Gorgeous weather. Stonehenge was stunning but the best sight was the amazing Salisbury Cathedral and the Magna Carta. I also fell lucky as choir practise was on and it only added to the splendour and majesty of the occasion. I later tried 3 campsites with all saying they were not open yet so I called on the Great British public and knocked on a door. Perfect choice as they were a family of cyclists and had no problem with me camping in their garden. All devices fully charged and morning coffee delivered to my tent by the owner. I love this country.

The road from Weymouth to Abbotsbury was stunning. Amazing view of the Jurassic coastline as the sun was setting. To finish the day I sat in the pub waiting for it to go a bit darker so I could sneak my tent up. I was camping right by toilets in the small park in Burton Bradstock so no piddling in the bushes was needed.
