Exactly the same route as last Thursday, but no detour to the ROC observation post this time.

Instead when we decided to shelter in Sibbertoft church porch for our break, out of the biting wind, we were able to look inside, and talk to one of the local church "admin".
That's why the walk comes out longer in theory this time. Churches and old buildings with thick walls seem to affect GPS signals.

A couple more observations about Sibbertoft - the river Welland has its source here, apparently under a patch of grass; and a Wellington bomber crashed nearby on 24th December 1941, killing all members of the Polish crew.
A poignant past Christmas still remembered - and the church still a refuge!
ReplyDeleteI'm not religious but I do love churches with their history and also their function as a community focal point.
