A lightweight day, after yesterday. The Peugeot set off properly southwards, but only at lollygagging pace, in the direction of the Kentish coast, but got no further than the Warwickshire/Leicestershire countryside. Attractive, empty and flat, and with masses of villages ending in 'stone'. Perhaps I'll ask Mr. Google what that's all about. And it was sunny, which always helps.
Lunch was taken at Market Bosworth, and there was also a visit to Bosworth Field, scene of the battle of 1485, where Richard III, he of the Leicester carpark exhumation, lost his life. Considering that this is bank holiday weekend, there were no crowds, nothing like it in fact. A very laid-back day, rounded off by dinner at the Anchor, a canal-side pub near Atherstone.
