Our destination this week was Staunton Harold Church on the Leicestershire and Derbyshire border, about a forty minute drive so all twelve walkers met a little earlier than usual at 9.30am.

Off we go |
We started our walk from the car park at Staunton Harold and set off through fields of dandelions, mud and a few stiles.

I wish I had longer legs |
After passing many inquisitive 'farmyard friends' we took a short break at Calke Abbey.
We then headed for the area of woodland that was carpeted in bluebells, very beautiful - in fact all our walk was very beautiful.

It's all ups and downs |
We returned to Calke Abbey for lunch and a bit of a natter. Others along the way had decided it was feeding time too.
 |
Move over - its my turn |
 |
Goslings |
 |
Two coffees please - we'll be there in five minutes. |
We all enjoyed those packed lunches - all the fresh air makes you hungry.
 |
That bread pudding looks really yummy |
Lunch finished, we enjoyed our walk back to Staunton Harold by a different route as it involved skirting the reservoir and the deer park.
