World whisper go for one of protein drinks so as I leave Corby Glenn I’ll be soon entering a new County can’t remember which one it’s going to be see Rutland or lerer [Music] well what do you know it’s actually right for once yeah I wasn’t quite sure where it crept into Woodland enough well not long ago past my most Sly point on this uh 200 km odax and I’ve just seen on the horizon the site of the radio mast at walam on the Ws so that means coming into leester and wman and windmill not too far away from here [Music] now [Music] [Music] oh so not far now from the village of Tay just going through a series of ESP Ben if you live in Oak you’ll know the ESP spens I’m referring to much better in a Sly Direction back towards [Music] [Music] oakam [Music] so that’s it arrived at w windmill
