A group of intrepid re-enactors have left York to replicate the gruelling three-week journey taken by King Harold to the Battle of Hastings. Travelling on foot and horseback, the group will arrive at the battlefield on Friday 14th October, marking exactly 950 years since the battle which resulted in the Norman conquest of England. Nigel Amos, who is leading the walk, said 鈥渨e鈥檙e wearing 11th century clothing and we will be carrying shields鈥. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think we could be mistaken for your average group of country hackers,鈥 he added. This clip is originally from 5 Live Breakfast on Monday 26 September 2016.
