You'll never guess who we saw on the walk today ... Dylan Hartley - ex Northampton Rugby Club Captain and England International.

Well the NRP5 was another hot and humid day led by DFH.
We had 3 stops, one for morning T break which was at the top of a steep hill which is on our BBN web site page. then lunch at a church, then a well earned pub stop approx an hour before we arrived back in Harpole.
We left Harpole on time only to find ourselves back in Harpole an hour later due to getting so far then turning back on ourselves to arrive back in Harpole further up the road due to...... NO, NOT DAVE GETTING LOST but all due to making sure we did the whole of the NR.
Even the pub stop at Lower Harlestone "The Fox and Hounds" we passed by only to do a circuit back to it before we went in for a beer.
It was another great day. Thanks to DFH leading the way.
PS. We even walked past Dylan Hartley, the England rugby player, as we walked through one of the villages, I must admit that i did not recognise him at the time.
It was back in Harpole at the end of the day when the sighting was being talked about that I realised who we had passed. Ohhh well another front page spread for Strider missed.
