Sunday 3rd - A Mad Rush And Anu From Afar

I attempted my rather mad trip to cover four of the five remaining OS maps where I haven't yet visited a site and succeeded in that part. However, I wasn't very well towards the end of last week and so I didn't really have the strength to do such a journey. This meant I didn't see many sites.

At one, typically the furthest away from home, I was foiled by lambs in the field so I couldn't get close. The other sites of the day were a mixed bag, both condition and monument type wise.

Next week I will head off and visit some sites on and around the last remaining OS map, then I can safely say I have covered the country pretty well. This won't mean I will stop, but at least I will have done something that not many people can claim to have done - not that many people would like to have managed it!
