Happy walkers

Bull RUSH ?

What a glorious day but don't stay too long or there's an extra £25 to pay.

Eyeing up the locals - sausage and egg?

A great example of Leicestershire's canals and countryside.

Artist on Board

I can feel a cuppa coming on.

Just out of interest

Oh, that looks nice(not the hair, the cake.)

What's this plant pot for?

Not too far by boat

We were here first - you can have a dip later.!!!!!

It was a good walk, cooling down by the canal. Wonder where we are off to next week.

!8th July 2014. A round walk from Wistow park approx 5mls.

Eleven walkers were looking forward to a good walk in very nice weather, so it was boots on and off we went.

Straight into the fields from Wistow with the usual friendly animals for company.

After skirting Kilby and over towards the canal the going became a little more difficult in parts.

We came to the hole in the hedge and found that after such good growing weather, the opening to be even smaller than usual.

 

Somebody offered to hold the gate -

until we all got through.



We then set off over the bridge on the way to the canal and

along the tow-path for a couple of miles or so.

Oh, and we found a cow looking as if she wanted to go for a dip!

Coming away from the canal we headed towards the beautiful Wistow Church.

On to Wistow garden centre and a well earned cuppa and cake for some.

Well, we all enjoyed the walk and we're looking forward to next week. See you all 10.30am Cosby Village Hall car park.

P.S. Anybody seen Willie and Sheila lately?
