part one of this walk,<\/a> then part two may seem a little confusing.\u00a0 \u00a0But of course, that is not my problem so I shall venture forth, as it were.<\/p>\nAnd as you will perceive, we carried on ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/peterboroughramblers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/11th2-300x225.jpg\")
around, and about through terrain made of grass and terrain made of holes in the ground with plentiful mud, as we skirted the village from whence we had begun and after a spot of road walking, found ourselves walking inwards from the north, or maybe it was the east, I am not too sure.<\/p>\n
But certainly we approached, and with what\u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/peterboroughramblers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/11th3-225x300.jpg\")
an extraordinary shock it was too, for during our short time away, we found that the entire world had tilted to one side.<\/p>\n
Goodness knows how the poor villagers were coping with everything suddenly being on the tilt, presumably because of those gigantic holes photographed above, but whatever the cause, tilt there was.<\/p>\n
And yet despite it all, we marched forth with valiance and determination, always careful to be on the lookout for any further land movements, or indeed volcanic eruptions which could easily have followed (for one never ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/peterboroughramblers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/11th4-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
never knows in the outer reaches of the Rutlandsphere if that is indeed the world into which we had stumbled.\u00a0 (As I say, one never knows).<\/p>\n
There were cries of alarm, of course, but I did my best to soothe troubled brows, asserting that everything would be ok, and that the titling of the tractors ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/peterboroughramblers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/11th6-300x225.jpg\")
and other machinery to be found is these outer wild parts of our terrain was merely the normal result of the earth settling after a volcanic eruption (which fortunately we seem to have missed.)<\/p>\n
So onward we ventured once more, and lo and behold we found at the end of the voyage the village was still intact.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/peterboroughramblers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/11th7-300x225.jpg\")
More to the point, so was the public house, and much was made by the publican and his crew of our orders of coffee and pints, although not in the same vessels, I hasten to add.<\/p>\n
We spoke to the staff in a manner that I think is appropriate for those with money speaking to those taking it, and congratulated them all on their fine village which I am told remains standing until this very day, open and ready to received any further visitors who may venture unto the Rutlandish wilds, seeking out new life and new civilisations just as Captain Kirk did all those years before, although in his case without finding very much of interest.<\/p>\n
We shall of course venture forth again next week and if I am not arrested beforehand may once more attend, photographic equipment in hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
