The weather forecast was atrocious and as the intended walk had not been checked out recently it was assumed that because of the rain we'd had over the last few days it would be rather soggy to say the least, so we decided on terra firma pathways rather than over the fields.
Eighteen walkers turned up so the route was changed slightly in order to end up at a coffee stop that could accommodate the large number.
Everyone was well wrapped up and in good spirits.
We set off out of Cosby towards Littlethorpe along Cosby Road and then...
.... into Littlethorpe where we turned right down towards Whetstone.

We turned left on to the old Central Railway path, through Spinney Halt heading towards Enderby Road.
The steps at the end of this section of the Central Railway path led us onto the very busy and noisy Enderby Road/Blaby Road. - a sharp contrast to the calm and quiet pathway we'd enjoyed.
After passing Whetstone Tip on our right (always busy) we reached the main Leicester to Coventry road (A46) where we turned left towards Narborough village. Our watering hole was the Narborough Arms.
After a good natter and a rest we set off for Littlethorpe.

We soon found ourselves back in Cosby....
.... through Victoria Park and over to the car park at the village hall.
Great to see so many people on a grey, windy day - looking forward to the next walk.
