12. 09. 2014 Saddington to Foston Locks via Gumley and return approx 6.5 mls.

The map shows the route taken. We parked at Saddington and then took the hilly route to Gumley walking out of Gumley and down to Foxton Locks.

As you can see it was a bit hilly in places.

A few of the locals popped out to watch us walk by - very friendly and quite content to get on with the business in hand for the day. Well, you have to keep working when the boss is watching, especially when he is such a big fellow.

Walking out of Gumley and on to the canal path we headed for a cuppa etc etc.

 The topics of conversation were very lighthearted.

After tea and coffee we set off back to Gumley and then down by Saddington reservoir before returning to Saddington.

Everybody enjoyed the walk and are looking forward to the next one.
