24th March 2017 Walking round Draycote Water app 5.2 miles.





We all met at Cosby Village Hall on what promised to be a dry day albeit a bit on the cool side.  Red Nose Day was celebrated by some by donning the appropriate kit. 

We then set off for the village of Thurlaston on the banks of Draycote Water, near Dunchurch, Rugby.  It's a very pretty village -  could well be depicted on a box of chocolates.




There's a small sloping path to the perimeter path of the reservoir.


Looked like it was going to be a gentle amble.


The sun arrived on the scene and brightened up the proceedings.



Geese feeding on the edge of the golf course.








After taking photos you end up at the back of the group.

















It's well worth the time to get those shots that are appreciated by the viewers of this blog.






Having caught up, the group set off for the restaurant and a cuppa.








Cakes are always a welcome addition to a cup of coffee.


Setting off for the rest of the walk.





Quite a lot of fishermen on the banks. Most fish caught are returned to fight another day.






Back up the path towards the village and the cars.


The local pump and pictured below, ducks in the eaves.



As always, a great walk and we're looking forward to the next one.
