Tuesday 06m Walking Group - next 2 walks
| 15 Nov | Leader Cliff Knowles
10am start at The Plough Inn, Burroughs Road, Ratby LE6 0XZ. What 3 words - taped.privately.fortunate Lunch is provisionally booked so those staying for lunch can use the car park after 9:30 and pre-book a lunch then. If not staying for lunch there are a few parking spaces just past the pub entrance on the right of Burroughs Road. The toilets should be available for everyone and there are no toilets on the walk route. The walk is just over 6 miles around Ratby Burroughs with a mixture of woodland and farmland.There are no steep climbs and only 10 stiles which are in reasonable condition. Depending on the weather in the preceding days, some paths could be slippery and muddy so a walking pole might be valuable. SK |

Thursday U3A 6-milers - next 3 walks
| 26 Sep | Given the weather on Sunday and the rain forecast for Wednesday evening and into Thursday this week, and being cautious about ground conditions, the walk scheduled for this Thursday (26th) from Rearsby is being cancelled. Hopefully the intended route can be used on another occasion and our autumn programme can otherwise continue (with our next outing on 10th October) as planned. SK |
| 10 Oct | Sally, with Mandy, are leading a walk from Burton on the Wolds. The walk starting at the Greyhound Inn on Melton Road in Burton on the Wolds (Postcode LE12 5AG What3Words heartache.soda.workflow) Please park to the left of the carpark and away from the pub itself. The walk will go through the Burton plantation to the Playing fields, then across arable fields to the edge of Walton and across footpaths, with lovely views of the Charnwood Hills, to Nottingham Road where there is sufficient space on the verge to walk safely to the Barrow Upon Soar allotments and a coffee break. The return being along Fishpool Brook, where there are a few (reasonably well maintained) easy stiles to negotiate. At the top end of the brook care will be needed as the path has degraded a little. The final stretch then going up the bridle path to the Orchard and Walton Church and back to Burton on the Wolds. Lunch could be arranged at the Greyhound if there is interest. SK591211 |
