Date: Sun 20th AprilDistance: 22.5 km (14 miles)
Location: Somewhere around Watton-at-Stone and Dane End
Participants: Pip, Nikki, Lurch
Sunday saw Lurch, Mrs Pot and Robbo head off into the wilderness that had previously consumed Wol for 7 hours. Instead of adopting his lackadaisical approach to map reading, I decided to actually use the map and navigated us around 22.5k's in just over 4 hours - not bad seeing as we were time constrained to go Stag hunting later on today.
The walk proved to be most enjoyable even if visibility was poor. It is however a shame that farmers plough up the footpaths every year, then power harrow them in time for horses to walk across them meaning that we carried another 2 stone of claggy mud half the way round.
Still we made it all the way without getting chased by sheep - Lurch did get briefly followed by a fat pony for a while though.
We also learned today that its a good job 
Daniel is not our nutritionist. His idea of a high energy snack was a big bag of Walkers Sensations, he suggested that next time we take some beer for a break half way and in the final stretch for home he did manage to work out how to drink from his sports cap bottle.
