Basingstoke to Whitchurch - 27th January 2011

A very cold day with a biting North Easterly wind. To Whithchurch from Basingstoke going south towards Micheldever and then turning north near Micheldever station and up to Whithchurch. I've been meaning to get to see this characterful little Hampshire town for many months. Shame it was such hard work cycling back into that wind!

Steventon Church - Jane Austen's father was Vicar here.
