Giant's Head campsite
A rather good campsite rewards another climb. I could see all the way back to Win Green, a hill crossed at the start of the day.
Like the previous evening the skyline was dominated by bright lights on the edge of Shaftsbury.

Signpost on the Wessex Ridgeway
The Wessex Ridgeway follows bridleway S13 6 (right)/ S31 8 (left) across footpath S13 2 (behind and ahead). The reason for change in numbering of the bridleway is the parish boundary it crosses, which runs along the field boundary the path is following, between Cerne Abbas (this side) and Minterne Magna.
