4/2/22 Cosby via Shuttleworth Lane, Cottage Lane and back. approx 4mls.

We couldn't resist the temptation of another walk up Shuttleworth Lane while it was still shut and without traffic. 

After our short walk out of the village we set off across the fields towards Cottage Lane at Broughton Astley.

A little bit of mud here and there.

A good day for walking.

  

At Cottage Lane we turned left towards the very busy A426 then soon after another, another left turn into the top end of Shuttleworth Lane.

Absolutely great, no traffic down here.

On our way to check on the road works progress.   

Looking good?

Holding the gate steady so we could negotiate our way around it.

Looks like this bit is just about finished.

Back in the village.

Unfortunately, it's very unlikely that we'll ever be able to repeat this walk as Shuttleworth Lane is due to reopen next week and it would be just too dangerous.  It was good while it lasted.
