Good Friday 3rd April 2015 Walking from Blaby to King's Lock App 5 miles.

Damp horse

The weather wasn't brilliant for our Good Friday walk - unfortunately, the forecast was right - it was wet!

The odd brolly was out, a very unusual feature of our walks, some were sporting a little advertising.






We walked out of Blaby along the disused Great Central Railway track towards Leicester.

We turned left down to the canal, crossing over the bridge and on towards King's Lock Tea Rooms which traditionally opens for the year's business on Good Friday.  As expected, it was very busy.

It was a good job that we all had waterproof  clothing on as all the seats were a bit damp. That didn't stop us enjoying the tea, coffee, cakes and even a bacon buttie.

We are not damp!!

Sharing - you cut and I choose

Bread pudding cake - yum!

A bacon buttie about to disappear

Some flower pot men were spotted trying to shelter under a tree in the cafe garden.

After our break we set off back along the canal towards Blaby.

It's a shame some people find it's necessary to dump a shopping trolley into a canal.

Yes, it was wet day, but we all enjoyed the walk and chat and looking forward to next week.

P.S Willie and Sheila are back from New Zealand - more later.

Who was taking snaps of who?
