Northampton Town


Mursley, where I stayed last night was the west side of MK whereas I needed to go north east. The apartment I stayed in was ideal. It is self contained and had a kitchen including a washing machine so I washed my gear and Mr Baxter put them in his drier. I had to get my own breakfast but the food was all there. I finished breakfast by 7.15am and set off on the 24 miles to Northampton. The weather was dull, dry and windy. Generally it was behind me but swirled alarmingly at times. I arrived at Northampton Town in double quick time. At reception a lady greeted me. I thanked her for the tickets they had sent and asked if I could take some photos and have my shirt signed. She invited me over to the training ground to see if the manager was available. I was asked in to meet John Gorman who greeted me and introduced me to the players. He signed my shirt. We chatted until he was called away by his mobile ringing. I took my photos and said bye. With over 40 miles to go I got my head down.
