I have never met these men and women; and they have never met me. But we would understand each other extremely well. Instantly, too:
A group of “warriors” are staging a 300-mile march to echo King Harold’s journey to the Battle of Hastings.
English Heritage has organised the trek on horseback and foot from York to East Sussex to mark the 950th anniversary of the famous clash.
The volunteers will arrive on the battlefield 950 years to the day since Harold fought William of Normandy.
And then they’ll recreate the battle itself. Because that’s what you do. No, seriously: that’s what you do.
If you find this interesting, the link to the site covering the march is here.
