24/10/2014 Fleckney to Wistow via canal then return journey by fields. 5.5.mls




The weather forecast was a bit on the non committal side, 'will it,   won't it rain?'.  All twelve walkers, although well prepared, would prefer it didn't.


All togged up




















The weather started to brighten up after a short distance so the odd patch of mud didn't look so sticky in the sun.


Milk bar is over there.
I was here first.

We passed fields of cows on our way down to the canal side and then on towards Wistow.
















.





We turned left over a bridge into the fields with Wistow Church in sight and then up to the garden centre cafe for a cuppa and a cake





 




All togged up again, we were ready for the return round trip over the fields to Fleckney.


 

Eyes down






 





 The paths become muddy and a little on the narrow side where farmers had just planted their crops.








On reaching the outskirts of Fleckney we made our way along the footpaths through the estates back down to where we had parked the cars near the allotments.








 Luckily the rain held off and other than having very muddy boots we completed the walk quite dry.







P.S. Willie and Sheila have gone on holiday again - Somerset we think.
