Harvesting farmers, WeWard league leader and 13 miles of hikes


Harvest convoy 
Today is the last day of the WeWard league and I’ve put in a good shift to finish top with 13.5 miles of hiking in the heat. 10 golf balls today ! 

Weather looks set to turn in the next few days so the local farmer is out to harvest his crops while they are dry in order to get the best price. Moisture in cereal crops brings a drying charge from the mill it’s sold to, so it’s better to harvest when it’s under 14% ! 

I’ve started a new book on Audible, Spain by Antony Beevor. He’s a masterful author and a genius at research, the Spanish civil war is an amazing complex situation to write about and there’s a lot packed into each chapter. 

It’s been a total of 117 km walked over the last week so tomorrow it’s time for a rest. 

Have fun stay safe ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

There was no evidence of the Slough Grand Prix today so it must have been a quiet night. The only eyesore is the refuse on the streets, the fortnightly collection means bin bags get piled up and the ripped apart by the ever growing numbers of urban foxes looking for the rotting food inside. As I get out of the town I regret my outfit, I’m wearing a base layer, a wooly jumper and a coat the sun is bright and I’m getting hot. I’ve only bought a camera bag with me so I’ll have to suffer it and take the lesson. โ„ฑ๐’พ๐“‹๐‘’ ๐‘”๐“Š๐“Ž‘๐“ˆ  โ„ฌ๐“Š๐“‡๐‘”๐‘’๐“‡ ๐’ถ๐“ƒ๐’น ๐’ป๐“‡๐’พ๐‘’๐“ˆ As I get to Eaton it’s full of activity there are boys running between classes in tails and a few tourists wondering around, I was once asked by a Japanese tourist where Eaton college was I told him tha...
