Winchester; Friday, 03 April, 2015

It was quite refreshing to get away to a holiday quite so quickly. After changing trains at Clapham Junction I’d normally be heading over to Feltham and then onto Heathrow. In the time it would normally take me just to get to the airport I instead managed to get all the way to Winchester and down into town to the hotel and checked in.

Having left my stuff in the room I headed out for a wander around town starting off by the cathedral and wandering through its grounds before finding myself down by a pleasant walkway by the Itchen

It would have been even more pleasant had the weather not chosen this point to start to deteriorate into a fine heavy drizzle.

I walked back into town alongside the Itchen stopping off at the statue of Alfred the Great briefly before the weather deteriorated to such an extent that I headed back to the hotel.

I waited in the hotel for a little while for the weather to improve before I headed out to dinner.

After dinner I went for a bit more of a wander around the Cathedral, but once again the weather deteriorated rapidly and I ended up scampering back to the hotel soaked to the skin.

I took advantage of the bath tub to have a more pleasant soak before going to bed.
