This was to be a special day, a commemoration of Trevor’s Achievements. Friends came from all parts of the country to celebrate carrying of the Boots 180 miles. The prize for the longest journey goes to John and Gaynor who came all the way from Haywards Heath (West Sussex), really impressive! 

We each had signs on our rucksacks indicating our purpose.

We passed through trees with huge carpets of Bluebells stretching deeper into the woods. Later it was fields and fields of yellow rape seeds, the air was heavy with its scent. Ocassional phone calls were made to Janet who was co-ordinating activities of the other members and minders. They were walking from Stratford to meet the boot carriers at the obelisk.
