Solo Hiking & Wild Camping in Storm Alex

Thought I'd head out in the storm but Alex was surprisingly kind to me! I walked the Ridgeway Link trail from Dunstable Downs to Ivinghoe beacon and back again, a total of 18.5 miles in the rain, with an overnight stop for a wild camp in the woods. The Ridgeway Link connects the end of the National Ridgeway Trail to Dunstable Downs & transport links. It's a 7.5 mile route of woodland and rolling hills that starts at Ivinghoe Beacon and passes through the edge of Ashridge Forest, the village of Dagnall, Whipsnade Golf Course, Whipsnade Wild Animal Park and Whipsnade Tree Cathedral before ending at Dunstable Downs Route information for the Ridgeway Link Trail can be found here; https://www.chilternsaonb.org/ccbmaps/544/137/ridgeway-link.html There's a map here; https://www.chilternsaonb.org/uploads/files/Walks_and_Rides/Ridgeway%20Link%20Feb%202012.pdf FB & Insta @WildBeare wildbeare.com #hiking #wildcamping #ukhiking #femalecamper #femalehiker
