Day 11

Today took Sam from Nuneaton to Warwick, having had such a good day the day before with the Leicester Tigers it was a bit of a shame that the rain returned and Sam had to trudge through Warwickshire in the wet.

Undeterred Sam plodded onwards with his pockets full of Kit-Kat Chunkies, and a longing for the weekend and two days off. The days walking proved to be fairly uneventful as Sam clocked up his 250th mile.

As the day wore on and the rain continued to fall relentlessly, Sam found himself needing to answer a call of nature, and turned away from the road to relieve himself in the hedge. Unfortunately Sam hadn’t noticed the rather large puddle in the road right next to where he stood, and as he relaxed and enjoyed the sensation, three passing lorries happened to drive straight into the puddle, and one after the other they all showered him in a curtain of muddy water, leaving Sam thinking that he might have been better off if he had just gone in his trousers, as he would have at least been warm and wet, rather than just wet.

After signalling his thanks to the three lorry drivers, Sam continued on his way marvelling at the sight of Warwick Cathedral and looking forward to the half way party that was to be had in Nuneaton.

Next week Sam is back on the road and getting ever closer to home.
