Absolutely loved this hike---out in the fresh air embraced by beauty, history, geography, geology, archaeology and mystery----Westbury Beacon and Stoke Camp Hill Forts are such treasures--reminders of the ancients that lived here over 5000 years ago with views  high up just like we have today---may be swamps and bogs and marshland more evident back then and of course fierce wild animals like the wolf and bear...But we still have to be  on guard in the countryside for hidden dangers that may lurk in the undergrowth---Be prepared and go prepared---a compass is very useful especially in thick fog and at night, a map, a torch, a whistle and of course appropriate footwear and clothing ....not forgetting a first Aid Kit and some snacks and water especially in the hot Summer  months---------technology can also be useful e.g.mobile--just in case-------I often go off track but it is a good idea to a have a good plan ---a flexible plan with alternative routes etc....Be Alert............I usually inform someone roughly where I am going..........
