20 Feb - Bush Hill & Shuckburgh / Chesterton - 915.7 miles to go

Strode out a bit more today. Starting at Lower Shuckburgh, walked along the canal then across the fields (and across the county border into Northamptonshire) to Bush Hill, then back into Warwickshire and over Shuckburgh Hill. 6.2 miles.

This was good fun. With a little more free time, would have gone on to Napton Hill and back along the canal to the start point, but some other time.

Good paths all the way, although often soggy on the lower ground. Yes, Wellies still.

In the evening, Dorota and myself walked around Chesterton, adding another 3.2 miles, and we saw a hare.
