2014-08-22 Walking from Cosby via Broughton Astley Approx 6.6miles



The weather forecast suggested that we should be able to complete the walk before it started to rain.

12 of us (with Willie and Sheila, returned from their holidays) met in Cosby Village Hall Car Park and set off towards the allotments.






We took the short route across the fields to Broughton Astley, which meant that we arrived before opening time at the pub and therefore stopped for coffee and excellent home made cake in the cafe – the pleasant weather allowing us to sit outdoors in the continental manner.

There were some low stiles 
And there were high stiles

Putting the world to rights


Easy paths





Potential beefburgers










Coming back via Cottage Lane, then under the disused railway line we went through two fields of cows (bullocks). We had been warned and did consider an alternative route, however, we all felt brave and successfully made it to Shuttleworth Lane.

We just made it back to the car park when it began to gently rain.

See you all next week 10.30am Cosby Village Hall car park.
