7th October 2016 Walk from Peatling Magna via Peatling Parva and back. Approx 5.4 mls.

Walk – 7^th October 2016

Holidays, including those of our usual leaders and deputy leader meant that it was just seven of us who met for this week’s walk. 

The weather was good and we decided to do a circular walk starting in Peatling Magna, going for coffee at The Shires, Peatling Parva and then back to Peating Magna.

Starting on part of the Leicester Round we left Peatling Magna until we reached the Mere Road Track. We walked as far as the Ashby Road before taking the field path to the back of Peatling Parva Church. A couple of minor deviations from the proposed path were taken by our leader to ensure we didn’t reach our coffee stop before opening time.

After coffee we made our way back to our parked cars by way of the back of Peatling Hall and, eventually The Leicester Round. 

This time we had some stiles to contend with (some of which were not in the best state of repair) fields of bullocks and one recently ploughed field.

However all seven successfully finished the walk, a distance of 5.4 miles.

Walk – 30^th September 2016.

Twelve of us met in Cosby car park and drove to Sutton Cheney Warf where we parked (£1 per day per car).

Across the bridge and along the canal.

There was a lot of traffic on the canal – the children are back at school and the prices have dropped and the weather is still pretty good.

We had Willie and Sheila with us, fresh from their South American adventure.

Via Shenton Station and the Battle of Bosworth Memorial and back to our cars at Sutton Cheney Warf.
