Monday 22nd July - Last Practice

Tonight we practiced for the last time before the big day.
I was told that Usain bolt, well known sprinter, rests days, weeks before his big race. So I will give them a couple of days to rest !

We started at sunset outside Banbury to reach Wroxton threw the fields then Drayton and back to the car.
We walked almost 6km .... without water ... someone forgot the backpack in the car with the bottles in it !!

We had a good example tonight that the path is not always the same on the map and in reality.
Where we were supposed to walk in diagonal threw the field, we had to go around the field and...

... threw the tractor's tracks.

Wroxton Arch in the back ground,

"It is said to be one of the finest eye catchers follies in England. 

It is positioned in a clearing placed at the summit of a hill, 

It allows the visitor commanding views back 

across the fields to the Obelisk and, probably before the trees grew up, 

a view to the Abbey".

passed "Sor Brook",

Up the hill,

to Wroxton obelicks,

- the owner's of Wroxton Abbey nearby, also known as 

the Earl of Guildford, commissioned the erection of the obelisk 

to commemorate the visit to Wroxton 

by the Prince of Wales, Frederick of Hanover in 1739.

Thanks to a free App on my phone, Endomondo, I can tell you that

after 1 hour 34 and 5,91 km (3.70 miles), 

we were back to the car and enjoyed a "Zip" of water (I promised Edward that by the end of the walk, I will correct my English for "Sip" of water. 

I wonder why I keep confusing those 2 words !!? 😉 ) 

We are ready to go now

Macmillan way, here we come !
