17th April walking from Mowsley to Gumley.


Nice dry day for walking.



Very picturesque thatched cottages..


Out of Mowsley and on to Laughton


Cherry blossom at its best.
                                       






A peep over the hedge into the farmer's back yard. 



I'm the king of the castle you're the dirty rascal.



Joining our walk today?



Nearly into Gumley.


Sheep have the shade at the moment, cows will be moving in soon.




Outskirts of Gumley.



A bit early for the pub. We have been known to wait outside for opening time before.  Maybe not a good look?




Adjustment required.


The beer garden at the back of the Bell.  Nice coffee with chocolates on the side, always popular.


On our way back.



Unfortunately, one of group hurt herself when she slipped on the steps coming out of the garden and felt unable to continue the walk back to the cars which were a couple of miles away.  Luckily another of our walkers came to the rescue by running back and collected her car for the casualty.  Meanwhile, to make sure she was ok, a couple of us stayed with our casualty, one just happened to be a physio which was very handy, how lucky was that!
Everyone else continued the walk back.



Mum and babies



Still kings of the castle.


New trees.



Emergency car for fallen walker on its way.




Rescue complete.


Pleased to say our casualty is recovering well.
