The walk into the city is slightly longer, colder and wetter than we expect. Our first job is to research and purchase our third SIM card. Hopefully this will be the last.
It's lovely wandering around the city seeing such lovely buildings. The cathedral was built in 1220 and has a spire that reaches up 123m, almost double the 63m of the damaged Christchurch cathedral. The chapter house that houses the Magna Carta of 1215 is a pretty special place with gorgeous motives depicting scenes from the stories of Genesis and Exodus.
The walk home to the camp ground is sensational... or at least there is a sensational downpour which dumps litres of water on us all. We manouver our van off the sodden ground. Thankfully we are pointing downhill or this would also have been a sensational experience.
It's not a big drive to find our next campsight just outside Salisbury. We need to stay at a Carvan Club site in order to sort our membership. There are hundreds of sites across the UK which are available for members. The sites are as simple as a corner in a farmers field or as elaborate as a purpose built camping facility.
