Halford Bridge - Compton Abbas Airfield 30th June 2018

We didn't get all the way to the coast as originally planned, as coming into Tidworth we joined a queue of traffic that didn't look like it was going anywhere very quickly. The planned route was A338 - A303 - A350, but we turned round and instead took a very entertaining sort of zig-zag route, heading first towards Devizes, then back towards Salisbury, then Warminster joining the A350 further north.

I've imported a GPX of our trip from my SatNav into OS Maps and shared the link above. Is there a better or preferred way to share them?

If you only need to show the route that's fine. If you actually want to share the .gpx file that's a whole different story.  8)

If you actually want to share the file, take a look at the latest Wrinklies trip, post number one where I put links to the routes.
It'll give you an idea of how it's done.

Excellent ride, Andy!

Thanks very much for arranging it.
I'll leave you to describe the ins and outs, but here are a few photos - from the hill just north of Compton Abbas airfield, and the airfield itself:


Picnic, anybody?
