We have arrived in Minden after a day and a half of walking by the Mitteland Canal. The weather has been glorious and we will be planting the rose tree, during a ceremony at the site of the battle, tomorrow morning. That will really mark the end of our journey. Though the events here go on into the night and we have been invited to several. In fact, the taxi has just arrived to take us to a military tattoo in the town.
Our journey
- We are walking from York to Minden, Germany, for Yorkshire Day, bringing a white rose to the city on the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Minden. Read more on the background to our walk here
