Well Back home from America and as always it was hard saying goodbye to my son.
The weekend saw us walk a big chunk of the Gettysburg battlefield 15 miles we clocked up during the best part of the day.
It was one of my 'biggies' on my bucket list and the ten hour drive each way was well worth it. The town of Gettysburg not much bigger as it was back then and we found some awesome places to eat and drink.
So as to the walk itself well as with most battlefields being there brings another dimension, you really begin to appreciate lines of sight, understand how troops can remain unseen in certain areas and in some cases how CinC's would have to rely on good intelligence as to what was happening

A most awesome day and the stay in Gettysburg was pretty damn good to.
Two small talks that are very interesting to listen to
