For day 2 of the 1066 walk we took the train to Rye and walked back to Battle. Lovely countryside with rolling hills and wooded valleys dotted with windmills, oast houses and vineyards.
We stopped at Winchelsea church to see Spike Milligan’s grave. Apparently the diocese wouldn’t allow Spike’s epitaph “I told you I was ill” so they got round it by writing it in Gaelic.
There was some drama later at the less than salubrious hotel where some of us were staying when one of the guests (not a rambler) was dragged out in handcuffs by the police on a charge of attempted murder!
Finally, special thanks must go to Chris Bent for organising the excellent walks and to Michelle for providing superb cakes, much appreciated.
