So it was a simply glorious day today, the sun was out, wind was pleasantly refreshing what better conditions could there be for a walk in the country? Well not much of a walk as I’m still not 100% but getting a lot better, but I went a walk this afternoon through some of the oldest human landscapes in Leicestershire/Lincolnshire – the Drift at Wyville. This is also a site of scientific interest. In short it is a wonderful to take a leisurely. That, of course, is not how some of our more corrupt members of society see it. No they see it as a place to fly tip their rubbish, or discarded proceeds of crime. So not only was there a toilet cistern but the plastic insulation from copper wire which, I suspect, had been stolen from the local railway line. Oh aren’t we a wonderful people!

Anyway, if you can get pass the rubbish it really is a fascinating part of the world to explore with bronze age barrows, ancient track ways and the enigmatically named ‘King Lud’s Entrenchment’. Perhaps not Salisbury Plain but nonetheless captivating.
