Subject: Man Morris-Dances from London to Norwich
Written By: Philip Eno on 05/06/15 at 9:40 am
A man has accomplished a 100-mile (160km) morris dance from London to Norwich recreating a journey undertaken by William Shakespeare's clown in 1600.
Rick Jones, from Catford, set off from London Bridge on 23 April and danced his way through Essex and Suffolk before arriving in Norwich on Friday.
He completed the trip despite being stopped by police and enduring pain from stinging nettles and blisters.
He will officially finish his dance on 6 May at St John Maddermarket church.
In keeping with the journey undertaken by Shakespeare actor Will Kemp, he will dance again from St Stephen's Street up to City Hall to meet the lord mayor, before jumping over the wall at the church to celebrate his feat.
