18/3/2022 KIngs Lock walk from Blaby to Aylestone Meadows app 5.5 miles.

We chose this walk today as it was a favourite of a very special lady.

Appropriately, it was a beautiful day as we set off from Blaby Industrial Estate along the old Central Railway path heading towards Leicester.

Over the Grand Union Canal.

Down into the Nature Reserve.

Under the by pass.

Good paint job.

Met up with Po collecting for red nose day.

Subscriptions required for a good cause.
                                                      

Kings Lock Cafe -  a cracking BACON BUTTIE (we will be back)

                                              

Fed and watered, back on the track.

A pause for a group photo.

The sunny day definitely brings the cameras out.

For Sale !!!!

Clearly has damp problems.

The graffiti artists have been busy.

 

                                                                

Did you see the size of that fish?

Enjoying the canal views.

Reed beds make good homes for the duck population. 

                                                                     

Watch your head feature.

This heron was not for moving.

Back where we started.

A birthday surprise and delicious homemade cakes baked by the birthday girl herself.

Something to please everyone, thank you.

See you all next week.
