Mowsley 2

By Phil

4.5 miles: A lovely and easy walk from Mowsley, up the map past Valley View Farm and then down the map to Laughton and finally left across the map to the Staff of Life at Mowsley.

Houghton

By Phil

4.5 miles: If you like to describe walks by their shape on the map, this is a lariat, or lasso. From Houghton-on-the-Hill head past Redver’s Farm, hang a right to take you past Monk’s Grave and bear round anti-clockwise past Old Ingarsby towards Keyham and then south back to Redver’s Farm, Houghton, and the Rose and Crown.

Cosby

By Phil

5 miles: Thursday walk led by the Cow Whisperer, Dave Bromley. An interesting and easy walk, even if we didn’t stick to the footpaths!

Fleckney

By Phil

4 miles: This was an easy “Let’s get back into it” walk. From the car park, past the school and then anti-clockwise around Fleckney Grange, The Meadows and Lyndon Lodge Farm. We ended up in The Golden Shield – where else?!?

Laughton

By Phil

8.5 miles: My first “proper” walk as a leader. This walk can made longer or shorter quite easily (it started off as a 12 miler!). From Laughton to the canal, along the tow-path for a while, then down the map to Lubenham before heading north to Foxton and then back to Laughton.

Swithland

By Phil

8 miles: And a bit! From Swithland Wood, passing Woodhouse on your left, to the outskirts of Quarndon and then back via Swithland Reservoir, Swithland itself (and The Griffin Inn), before heading back to the car.
