Green gold As the Viking Way progresses south on the Wolds these massive fields are becoming more common. Presumably 'worth a bob or two' with the current price of wheat. I was looking for the trig point as shown in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/162034">TF1789 : Trig Point Near Viking Way.</a>, but the hedge is now so dense I couldn't find it.

Roman Road, Viking Way The B1225 runs as the 'High Street', on the edge the Wolds escarpment, between the Roman towns of Caistor and Horncastle. The Viking Way uses its narrow verge for only a hundred yards.

The Clumps Taken from a point close to a turn on the public footpath, this general view of the entire square shows the sweeping nature of the Lincolnshire Wolds and the great long views from the high points.  If my bearings are correct, the steam on the horizon is coming from the Cottam Power Station over 20 miles away.  The Clumps relates to the name of the two clumps of trees within the gridsquare.
