Re: Bodicote Cursus by cropredy on Tuesday, 02 April 2013

Called here today at 1.00pm.
Walked down the footpath shown north of the cursus which is now lots of rugby pitches( Banbury rugby club)
Detected four very wide flows which form a rectangle basically aligned with the footpath.
The first flow is just in front of the club house and was going in a Southerly direction.
The next one was past the rugby pitches also in exactly the self same direction.
I turned at ninty degrees and found the two flows both going in a westerly direction.
I will call again to pin point exactly the cursus relative to what is there now , but will have to have access onto the pitches.
