I agree entirely.
Good point about the 'logistical support' too - the Britons were not a professional army, and did not know how long they would be away on campaign. Of course they brought their wives!
Coupled with the sensible and widely-held opposition to the notion of long-distance 'parades' across country, these points support the view, I would say, that the final battle site cannot be more than a day or two's journey from London and/or St Albans, the last mentioned locations of the rebel force.
