One Step Beyond

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!
