As the weather was going to be good yesterday I walked a section of the Lincolnshire, Spires and Steeples walk, from Ruskington to Metheringham. Today I will sit in front of my laptop and do the work for Octagon.

There was a challenge early in the walk to deal with!

I decided to walk back down the path a way, and wait to see if the bull would move from the style. This he eventually did and that was my chance – walking across the field briskly, keeping my eye on the bull the whole way. I also watched the cows with calves to make sure I did not get too close to them.

Usefully there was a warning and some instructions on the other side of the field!

Being that the walk is called “Spires and Steeples” there were many opportunities to photograph the village churches.
