On the longest day, in line with the tradition it is To The Woods Fields.
We start from Fosse Meadows Main Car Park – The nearest Post Code I can find is LE10 3AB. We walk to the Mucky Pig and then back via what seems to be the Maseratti Graveyard.
As usual just under 5 miles. I walked it today – hardly getting lost at all. There are no stiles and no mud but there are a few nettles, but not as many as I had expected. There are several fields of rape, but they are now seed. There is a field of pea like plants - see photo.
Bring sun cream and for hay fever sufferers their Piriton tablets.
Either meet in Cosby Car Park as usual or at the Fosse Meadows Main Car Park at 10:45.
If you are going direct please let me know.
Photographs taken (not many). This is only the preparation for the walk.
Friday 21st June, Fosse Meadows,
Frolesworth, Claybrooke Magna, and back. Stopping at the Pig In Muck for coffee.
It was the longest day, the sun was shining, we decided it was time to get away from hard surfaces. There had been some rain but the ground was dry enough.
We were 28 starting from the main car park at Fosse Meadows and after a short walk up the old roman road we struck off across fields towards Frolesworth.
As we entered Frolesworth we turned again across fields towards Claybrooke Mill and Claybrooke Magna.
The recent rains had helped the crops which were flourishing. The farmers had cleared the footpaths through the fields. It had also encouraged the nettles and thistles, though some of our braver members were in shorts.
In Claybrooke we walked through the village to the Pig In Muck where we sat in the sunshine with refreshments.
Claybrooke is about two thirds of the way round the walk so after the break it was a short walk back to the Car Park.
