and that's just what they did

Having just spent about half an hour re-editing most of the images I originally edited for this day, attempting a collage, re-editing some again then repeating the original edit on the original picture I chose I can understand why it took me until the 29th of November to upload this picture. The collage would have featured various pictures of components of the bit of the Viking Way between Woodhall and Horncastle along which it is most pleasant to wander in all types of weather, even the extreme sun as there are plenty of trees to shade pasty faces for most of the length of this stretch. Despite attempts by golf-twats to THIEVE the sections over which the golf course passes (the path doesn't go through the golf course; when it was railway track the trains didn't have to look left and right several times to make sure there were no snotty posh bastards hauling their badly-dressed paunches about to take a shot across their bows so I've never particularly gone out of my way to stick to the bit of the path they want people to take instead of the proper path and generally tend to use peripheral vision when seeing if anyone is about to fire anything at me so that it looks like I'm not paying them any attention at all. There's a bit when the path completely diverges from the old railway until Sandy Lane along which one must walk (past another view of golf course) until the track resumes. Instead of golf there is then an short stretch of horsery and the back of an industrial chicken farm before normality resumes and sheep appear alongside for a bit although normality buggers off again at the alleged picnic site where there are currently no picnic tables. Where the path passes under the road there's a nice oblique tunnel which seems much more extravagant and weighty than it needs to be for the size of road involved. The stretch to Horncastle is probably less interesting although there are (as always) plenty of trees and you're much further from the road and closer to a river than the earlier section. Although most of the county drives like an absolute arsehole I would usually choose to walk along the road when walking home from school or the pub and so haven't been along the Way between the two settlements that many times; the first time would have been a sponsored walk from Woodhall to Horncastle not long after we moved to the area and the last time along it for practical rather than nostalgic reasons would have been the last section of the end of one of the DoE practise-walks. I now usually try and get along at least a bit of it every time I visit the parents, especially this time as there wasn't even time to leave the house when we were last here in February last year.

There's still a wee gap on the 28th for which the picture was easier to choose but for which the writing still has to be done although I know what I'm doing for it.

There will be no gaps.
