October 1st – I’m really enjoying Cannock Chase right now. Exploring again Brockton and the Sherbrook Valley, I found Freda’s Grave, the memorial to the mascot of the New Zealand Rifles, stationed at Brocton during the first world war. I also crossed Shugborough again, but this time I headed up through Hixon to Blithfield and back through Handsacre. This indian summer has been a great tonic and I savoured every minute.
