when I cliped up the basket on the trailer winch at the end, i had a good look at the screwgates. They "looked" ok

 

Thought the ground lines may have been old field boundaries perhaps, & maybe the circles were where live stock may have been tethered on a hitch.

Didn't think they weren't straight enough for land drains. But I have no idea really.

i think its when it will have been bog land, the original water courses, the natural low points where the last of the water will be sitting. the road makes no diference in the pattern so they must be deep and old

every time we drifted over a country pub, I shouted down for them to pour me a Pimms, as I'd be back in half n hour

 

The Champagne goblets in the field after touch down, were well received.

 

Shame it finished so late, as it would of been great to have ended up in an Oxfordshire country boozer for a couple
