5th June 2015 Market Bosworth Country Park to the Battlefield Centre and back via Sutton Cheney.

Eleven walkers turned up on a beautiful sunny day, the temperature soaring over twenty degrees C. 

We set off to Market Bosworth Country Park  totally ignoring the forecast 'risk of localised, very heavy thundery downpours' -  the sun was shining (unlike last week, you remember?), we were going to make the most of it.

After parking and booting up we set off towards Market Bosworth village centre.

Not sure what the cow, dog, spoon and cat were trying to tell us but they looked very artistic so we snapped them!

At Sutton Lane we turned left and headed out of the village.

The sun makes all the difference on a walk, it's warm so everybody is happy. May it continue.



We turned off the track into the fields after about a mile and found everything growing well, crops, wild flowers and weeds, the nettles in particular.

After another mile or so we approached the Battlefield Centre which tells us all about the Battle of Bosworth and the defeat of King Richard III.

Now the sign below is something that we're not familiar with. Yes, we did look but we couldn't find any teeth. Another thing, this is England not Florida, we don't mind the odd cow now and again but alligators, no thank you.!!!!!

At the visitor centre we sat outside enjoying the sunshine, a cuppa and the odd cake or two. As usual when food is on the table Willie and Sheila aren't far away.

After the break, one or two of us decided to get our legs out for the rest of the walk.

We set off towards the village of Sutton Cheney.

The views and countryside were fabulous.

On reaching Sutton Cheney we turned left back towards Market Bosworth.

 Spotted something on a lake.

Trying to get that fantastic photo. 

We sometimes come across parts that are not quite so pretty but he farmer has to leave his tools of the trade somewhere I suppose.

The final gate, a smashing walk and sunshine all the way.

See you all next week.

P.S Willie and Sheila are going on  holiday (again!) so will not be around for a couple of weeks.
