Other times Stamford Bridge (battle) came up
They're going all the way down, they're half horse riding and the half walking, and they're sleeping in churches and village halls along the way, and, you know, tying up their horses at night and things. they've had to improvise a bit with the route because they think that the route they would have gone when the real Saxon army was going from Stanford Bridge down to Hastings was directly on the A1 so they've compromised there but there are bits which they know they would have gone through so there's an old Roman arch and Lincoln that these guys would have gone through so they're going to go through that and they're going to go on various Roman tracks and things like that.
