  • I figured it deserves its own post, seeing as how it’s the reason I came to Salisbury The bus trip left from the train station, which is right by where I’m staying, so that was very convenient. I’d picked the…

  • I’m writing these a bit asynchronously, but hopefully I covered the leg thing when talking about leaving Bournemouth. Short version is that walking was painful but got better over time, and that I was hoping it was a dehydration/exertion thing,…
