The weather forecast was for 'not a very nice day', so 12 walkers opted for a route that we hadn't walked for quite a while and normally just during the winter months.
We started walking from the car park at the Village Hall straight over the park, not daring to tread on the hallowed cricket pitch, then out of the park and out of Cosby heading for Littlethorpe.
In Littlethorpe we overtook a motorcycle. The reason we managed to overtake it was that it was being pushed by hand. Nearly all the male walkers stopped and thought of bygone days when similar vehicles were part and parcel of everyday life; this BSA looked in very good nick.
As we left Littlethorpe we headed down to Whetstone taking the disused Great Central railway line which has been turned into a footpath.
We walked past the re-modelled tip which is now fully operational and best visited during the week because weekends are usually pretty manic.
We came to the part of the walk which can flood. From Whetstone towards Narborough we turned left into the fields on the public footpath and walked over a bridge which is often underwater.

Leaving the fields in Narborough we walked under the motorway bridge heading for tea, coffee and cakes, yum yum.
We congratulate Cafe Narborough on their scones.
After our break we set off on our walk back to Cosby via
the railway bridge and a humped crossing.
As we came back into Cosby we came across a beautiful Wisteria.
Back into the park at Cosby.
Great walk, wonderful company and looking forward to the next walk.
P.S. Anybody know where Willie and Sheila are ?
