A walk of 180km between Oakham and Harling Road station, commemorating the resistance of Hereward the Wake (1035-72) to the Normans.

Observations

Walkers should note that the route-notes linked above abound in curious typography (with some conventions dating back to the days of the manual typewriter and others to the 1970s Letraset phase) which some readers might find difficult or distracting.
