Yesterday's 8 miles around Milford Common and Shugborough Estate + a bonus 5.3 back round the canal. Only to get back to the car to find it won't start (!) New battery provided courtesy of (£279 later!!) by RAC. Unfortunately this resulted in a missed opportunity to bump into Oldham Groundhopper at Penkridge on his Land's End to John O' Groats walk. Anyways, hot and bothered, lighter wallet and now suffering with heat rash on my lower legs. Had long trousers on so not sun burn. Stay hydrated out there folks.
