I didn't expect to get there, then decided on a little walk to clear the head and realised I needed little to actually get there :)
The challenge has been a great motivator Ynge, thank you :)

I was hoping to make it to Ludlow Castle today but will have to settle here for the night



Only half a mile to go, I shall get there first thing in the morning :-)

I live in Oadby, 57.5D, it's essentially a suburb of Leicester, though is just outside the city boundary in Leicestershire. Admittedly not a very exciting place, though we do have the Leicester Racecourse. You're welcome to virtually sleep in our 'summerhouse' (shed) overnight.

Through Oswestry, still on the English side of the border (with a dodgy google-cam image), but with some V Welsh house names to make me feel at home..onwards towards Chirk 😁

It's a night camping in the grounds of Rockingham Castle for Sushi and her Sherpa/Travel Buddy/Whatever I'm Being Referred To As Today 🤔

Lovely it is too





Although I'm just wondering where the nearest pub is 🍻

Decided we fancied a Castle view for the night so moved on to Rockingham.

Sadly there’s no street view but this arrived instead.



It seems the Castle Hamster still wants to keep us separated though but has swapped us round this evening.

Ooh I see Jayfire has magicked up a picture of the castle.

Thank you Sherpa/Travel Buddy/IT manager. You’re proving handy to have along.😁

You’re about 5 miles from my house. :-) Sadly, the closest the route comes is still 2 miles from the house, otherwise you could pop in for virtual coffee and cake.
