We arrived at Cosby Village Hall car park, the weather was dry but overcast and a band of heavy rain was forecast to arrive at midday. A quick decision on where to go for the walk was made; Foston Church to Peatling Magna, a short walk through the country along a gated road. Unfortunately, the pub in Peatling Magna does not open at lunch time so it is necessary to turn around and come straight back to Foston Church.

Sixteen walkers took part in the walk including one new walker.

Foston Church and farm are all that remain of Foston village. There is a very good web site on the church at http://www.foston-church.org.uk/.
The sky was very grey when we started off and it did not change all morning. Well, it is January and there is no snow but it is so wet and the fields are not very pleasant places for walking at the moment.
Reaching Peatling Magna we did a quick tour of the village and then set off back to Foston on the same road as we came.
We stopped for a while while Willie and Sheila had a look around.

| This is a better view - bit prickly though !!!!!!
Willie and Sheila won't be here next week as they're going on a cruise - apparently to the Isle of Wight !
At the end of the walk we all drove round to the Garden centre at Countesthorpe for coffee, tea and a great selection of cakes.
 See you all next week. |
