I accompanied a friend to the market in Sittingbourne this lunchtime, and whilst standing in the high street (it's closed to traffic on market days) thought to try out the zoom capabilities of my phone. It's part of the old Roman 'Watling Street', so is nice and straight 🙂 #Sittingbourne #RomanRoad #Kent #England

Haven't been on here because spent the previous week on a bike trip. It was lovely. The first part was a rails-to-trails path and the second half was the old roman road / pilgrims path.

Highlights:
🪨 Biked on a roman road and counted down the roman mile stones!
🏞️ Pretty landscapes
🍽️ Ate well
🫏 Slept next to donkeys
💑 Spent time with my partner

Accomplishments:
🚄 First time disassembling the bikes for the train
⛰️ Most climbing in a day & steepest mountain climbed (800+ m / cat 3)
⚙️ First major field repair (chain twisted and had to convert to a single speed)

Takeaways:
🧦 Bring extra dry socks (it was colder and wetter than we had planned on)

From Salisbury, I walked out of town and took the Portway, part of a Roman road later used as a Medieval track, up to Old Sarum, the original ancient settlement of the area.

It was lined with berry-laden hawthorn, blackberries past their best, rosehips, and flowering ivy, and humming with insect life, but I didn't see another person on it.

Any ideas about the change in the size of the flagstones from the near foreground to further away?

Was there an intersection?
