Trail Reviews
A bloody hot hike with @Karsten 🥵. White Mill, Along River Stour, Shapwick Village and up Badbury Rings. Started off in a small car park just off the Blandford road. Free to park in, Then followed a country path all the way to white mill Bridge/Mill. Took a few wrong turns as we weren't paying attention, too busy chatting, finally got on the correct path and made our way along the river stour. a lot of nettles and brambles, paths had not been maintained. Through a few fields and in to the quaint little village of Shapwick, along a long road up to Blandford road, and over up to the path to badbury rings. A really great walk with amazing views, graced by amazing weather too 🤓👍💪
