📍 Ashbury to Uffington White Horse, Oxfordshire

Fresh from the wild ridges of the Dragon’s Back the day before,  I headed out again —this time to Dragon Hill and the iconic Uffington White Horse. Definitely a winter walk, the sun didn’t make an appearance at all and the wind was biting at times,  but the company and views more than made up for it.

We went around Wayland’s Smithy too on the way back.

This was a special one: Thoko asked me to take her on a hike, as she’s not used to hikes, and she absolutely smashed it.

That climb wasn’t easy—especially with the wind — but she powered through. It was a real joy to walk and chat together.

We were treated to the sight of majestic red kites soaring above Dragon Hill, adding a touch of magic to an already beautiful route.

A quieter, gentler pace than yesterday’s mountain adventure, but no less rewarding.

It’s such a gift to share these landscapes—and to see someone discover their own strength along the way.
