Friday 8th March 2013.Cosby to Narborough via Littlethorpe and Whetstone. 5.8 miles.





Starting point at Cosby Village Hall
Fourteen walkers met on a cold damp morning. During Thursday night we had experienced a torrential downpour which had brought the brook water level up another foot. The weather forecast was for rain to arrive again in the early part of the afternoon.  Forewarned,  the unanimous decision was to stay local so we took a circular route      to Narborough then home. 


Hat of the day
On route
In Littlethorpe we turned right at Warwick Road.  After the motorway bridge we turned left on to the old railway line following the signs for Enderby Road.  After passing the tip (and the floods!) we headed towards the Toby Carvery. Here we turned  left again towards the centre of Narborough.  After four miles at a good walking pace we arrived at the  Narborough Arms for coffee, tea and a good chat!

Short legs or high seats ?

Cosy interior
It was only a short walk back to Cosby, about 30 minutes or so. 
You know, that damp cold miserable Friday morning turned out to be very enjoyable.

Hope to see you all next week.
