Friday 12th April 2013 Bouskell Park, Blaby to The Navigation Inn, Kilby. 6.6 Miles

It was an overcast and grey morning with the promise of short but frequent showers to come later. 14 walkers arrived at the appointed time eager to brighten up their day with some brisk walking and a lot of talking. It was decided to drive to Bouskell Park, Blaby,  park the cars there and walk to Kilby Bridge via South Wigston.

On the way, in Mill Lane, a really scary scare crow was spotted in an allotment! 

On reaching the Grand Union Canal at South Wigston we joined the towpath and headed off towards Kilby.

The going wasn't too bad all things considered.

A swan showed us it was much easier to float rather than walk.

Another hat was featured for the hat of the day competition.

At the Navigation Inn we all settled down to coffee etc etc. 

Although a little longer than usual, we agreed it was a good walk.
