8/11/19 walking from Blaby to Leicester. Approx 5.5 miles.


Image result for rain quotes funny

Meeting at the industrial estate on Winchester Drive, Blaby.





Well, we only got 20 yards around the corner and we had to turn back and do a detour.


It's a bit wet out in the fields.


Under the railway bridge at Blaby.


Marooned train in need of a bit of TLC.




Back on our original path heading for the Great Central Railway path.

Over the canal.


Up a slight rise (gets the blood flow going).


Through the estate to connect with the nature reserve.



The ring road over the path - we thought we might encounter a flood problem here.




Funny, absolutely bone dry.




Super keen to get a good shot.




The picture above shows the canal. The picture below shows how the river has overflowed into the nature reserve.


This road has a dip in it so it becomes a massive puddle and people driving cars have no idea how deep it is.





Picture below - it was there so a photo was taken.



Just about arriving into Leicester, 4 miles already done.




Down by the canal in the city, a good opportunity for a group photo. 




After walking through Castle Gardens we crossed into the square near BBC Radio Leicester.


Down High Cross Street and into the Cosy Club for coffee and tea.





A good venue - plenty of room for us.



See you all next week. Don't forget we're off to Draycote Water, weather permitting, and hopefully Pudsey cakes.
