He had to make a special journey to get to Nottingham. He spent his time in and around Yorkshire. The Rhymes list many of the places where he lived and
"worked" and they are all in Yorkshire.

What about Blyth?
The ballads list an awful lot of 'special journeys' if that was the case. |

Blyth Abbey is in Nottinghamshire and Blyth Castle where Ranulf earl of Chester was and if memory serves William de Lovetot also is in Yorkshire. Don't
forget Blyth Castle was also known as Tickhill castle, it was a Royal Castle and there was a heck of a lot of activity there around the time of King John by
some very notable people.
Anyway what is all this about, I think you have something up your sleeve?

In Munday's Downfall, when Scarlet lists the haunts of himself and his brother during their seven years of outlawry, he names: Sherwood,
Barnsdale, Nottingham, Blyth, Tickhill, Bradford, Wakefield, Barnsley, Farnsfield, Kendal, Leeds, Rotherham and Mansfield. Counting Blyth as Nottinghamshire
and Tickhill as Yorkshire, in accordance with their current status, that's five Nottinghamshire locations, seven in Yorkshire, and one way up in
Westmorland. Some of these are linked with allusions to otherwise unknown stories, including the fact that "at Blyth and Tickhill were we welcome
guests".

I think you two are up to something?
The reference to being welcome guests is said by two monks who Robin Hood robs in Yorkshire. But whatever the case, in all Robin Hood's adventures he has to leave Yorkshire to get to wherever he is going and no-one is saying he didn't get around because we know he did.
