Get your boots on!
… get your boots on!
15th September 2024: Keeping it local, this is a stitching together of sections of previous local walks. Challenging in parts, but mainly easy-going. There is a 7 mile option and a 9.5 mile option. Also, there is a choice of one or two pub stops!
12th May 2024: John Broadhead led us from Fleckney car park, along Main Street, up to the point where the road name becomes Arnesby Road – at the house named Hounds End.
2nd June 2024: Phil and Martin reconnoitred the route for this walk. Phil’s plan was to head along the canal and through fields to Smeeton Westerby. The best place to join the canal seemed to be at Cranes Lock. This meant a walk through the village up to Leicester Road and then over a couple of fields, across Kibworth Road and over two more fields to reach the canal.
3rd March 2024: Take the Leicestershire Round from Fleckney to Saddingtont then over Smeeton Gorse – yes that big hill! Continue along the Round all the way to Gumley, then pathways to Laughton. Rest, eat, return along paths, bridleways, and road.
The last walk of the year was a bit of an adventure with fallen trees and mystery paths, culminating in food, drinks, and entertainment.
It is always nice to welcome new walkers to the club and so we devised a short local walk and invited folk to come and join us to see what we are all about.
