  just needs a bit of embellishment roger, add the frequent :visits that king arthur made to farthingloe, knock out a computer generated image of the loch ness monster in the dour outside the riverside centre and we would have to build a coach park to handle the visitors.

  The Robin Hood who fought the French in Kent was indeed a commander of archers all originating from the Kentish and Sussex Weald. These local men knew the pathways in the woods and the marshes, and engaged the French army wherever they appeared.
