1. Don't just assume that trains in London are running on weekends. You'll end up staying awake till 3 trying to figure out a way (involving two train changes and a bus) to get to your train station at 5:30 in the morning.2. Get more than 2 hours sleep the night before.
3. Don't scratch your head wondering why your tickets are so cheap only to realize that you are restricted to certain trains at certain times and you may have missed yours.
4. Sweet talk the station master if you fail to follow 3.
5. Don't walk straight into a castle, however tempting it looks, thinking "ooh that'll make for some nice pictures". You'll be rudely stopped and told "It's fifteen quid entry mate".
6. Don't entrust the map to you Bihari friend who confuses left and right. You'll be running from horses and being chased by dogs if you do.7. Trust said Bihari friend when he tells you not to try and scare the animals which look like cows. He knows a bull when he sees one.
8. When being chased by said Bull do not think of yourself as Carl Lewis: Jumping over barbed wire, or going under it, is not easily done without ending up some sort of lasting physical reminder of your folly.
9. Don't stop at the pub before locating the station for your train back. Scrambling through a bog to make it in time is not fun.

brilliant pics, is it just me or does the cow have something yellow in its ears?
Is this another Time Out recommended walk? If so, what level difficulty? (Yes I understand you upped it several notches by your bull-baiting and train-confusing antics.)
Also, who's the Bihari friend?
@Priyanka- Thank you. Some yellow sticker to identify it to the farmer whom it belongs to. Its a bull btw.
@Sryon-Indeed it is. Another grade 7. Bihari friend is Aditya Jha.
Given how gorgeous the pictures are, I'd say it was worth it! :) If you had a good time, does anything else really matter?
