It is 2.4 miles to WHF. If walking in a straight line across fields. From the back of 9, Head Street.
He will have to walk across 13 fields.
Wilkinson said it was not possible to do this.
Some of the dividers between fields would be hedges, fences, dips, streams. Or a combination of these.
So a lot of zig zagging increasing the journey to 3+ miles.
Some of the fields would be tough terrain to walk across.
So a lot of time consuming hard work.
