Most of my journey today has been on the Fosse Way. About 17 miles in a dead straight line, they certainly new how to build roads.
It got me thinking about the roman soldiers and there 'marches'. They pretty much did 20 to 25 miles a day but carrying way more weight than me. And then, it wasn't feet up and rest, they either had to 'dig in' or fight a battle! They were tough in those days.
I am meeting Sue in Tetbury where we have a cottage for the night. It will be nice to have a 'normal' night. Sue is then going to walk part of the way with me in the morning.
I think that the Romans did a lot of good things for England, but it can't have been nice being occupied..............
