12.9.2025 Gumley circular via Foxton Locks.


At Gumley, just about ready for our walk to Foxton Locks.



Leicestershire views all around quite amazing.


The sun keeps poking its head out.


On to the canal path - wonder if we will bump into anything interesting today like we did last time we came here?




The café is just beyond the bridge.




Groupie first.
                                        
                           


        
Cake at the canal-side pub.
                                              
                      
Always pleased to see some of our non walkers of the day join us for coffee and chat.
                                                      
                   




The regular Friday Jazz band - they may be getting on a bit but they do sound really good.



Gathering outside before a walk around Foxton Locks.


Apparently, because of the shortage of rainfall, some locks had been further drained for maintenance work to be carried out.



                               

We got down to the Bottom of the Locks.

                                              
 

                                              

Shadows.
                                              
                                    

                                              

Over the canal and back to Gumley
           

This farmer has a sense of humour.

       
Okay will do.


Some close encounters with the locals.


Mr Grumpy?



A bit wet at the end but hey ho
