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!
Introduction The Weekday Walkers has grown from just two of us in the pre-covid days to 14 (at the time of writing). We are not a breakaway group, but rather a bunch of folk who like to go walking early in the day. We usually set off at 8:30 a.m. from Fleckney village car park…
9th June 2024: John and Denise took the lead on this walk and they led us from the cricket ground on Main Street, Gumley, down the road and through the gate into the church wood. We turned left out of the wood and followed The Leicestershire Round over Smeeton Hill and down to the canal feeder.
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.
The last walk of the year was a bit of an adventure with fallen trees and mystery paths, culminating in food, drinks, and entertainment.
