Newtonian Orbit
It was already way too hot when LRWG and our Lincolnshire
cousins pitched up on the classic village green at Skillington – but that wasn’t
going to put us off. Nevertheless, this
one was going to be a challenge. We’d
already had to take two ‘unofficial’ detours around blocked rights of way
before we got to Isaac Newton’s house, but we’d made it on time and some of the
group repaired to the pub while the more curious explored the
architecture. Then we got seriously
stuck into a spot of low-level Kinder-Scout-memorial activity as between the
pre-walk and today’s ramble an unwise landowner had erected both a barbed-wire
fence and freshly-laid hedge directly across the path – not that either stopped
us, of course. All that tall grass was
bit hayfever-inducing but the real ale on the brief trip our side of the county
border was judged by most to be worth it!
