Hi Swans
We are off to Culworth. The home of the Culworth Gang! These highwaymen were active in south Northamptonshire and surrounding areas from the mid-1760s until 1787. Originally a gang of poachers trying to feed their families, they later turned to more severe crimes of burglary, highway robbery, and the rustling of farm animals.

Their reign of terror ended when two of the gang, Richard Law and William Pettifer, stayed over in a tavern in Towcester, and the innkeeper found some of the gang's masks and other 'Highwayman' apparel in a bag. A constable was called who decided to put the pair under surveillance. Following a further robbery, a posse was raised to round up the other gang members; as a result, seven members went to trial, and five were convicted and sentenced to death by hanging.

I suggest we skip the hanging and have some cake instead. The total distance is 35 miles, the weather looks dry and the wind will be in our backs on the way home

I'll do a version of C today missing out the closed road and the gravel section.
Are you still planning to leave at 7pm?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
