19th June Walk – 5.1 miles From Wistow in a circular route.

Fifteen of us set out from Cosby Village Hall Car park and drove to Wistow, sorted out our boots and set off uphill on our way to Kilby.  

Everything is growing well with the summer sun and the hedgerows were full of flowers, including wild roses.








This part of the route is well provided with styles, several with trip wires included where the electric fence passes in front of the style. 

There are sheep everywhere, and as a consequence there's lots of sheep poo.







This was awkward


Once in Kilby we took the path off Main Street which eventually leads us to the canal.  

The path took us through a field with an electricity pylon which gave the photographer a chance to take a picture up the middle of the pylon.












We passed a mare with foal, the foal looked very new and still shaky on its legs.
Walking along the canal tow path, we noticed an increase of canal boats as we move into summer.  

We turned off towards Wistow Church and then back to the cafe for coffee and cakes.













As befits a garden centre there were lots of hanging baskets and tubs in full bloom.
