Details

MEET: 9.30am
Outside the Carrington Arms pub, Folville St, Ashby Folville LE14 2TE

DETAILS: We will walk part of the journey we didn't complete 6 months ago in a blazing hot June with an addition.

From "Highfield End", we head west along the Leicestershire Round following a stream, then head south down the Midshires Way. We then head down a road to Barsby (this is the additional bit). From Barsby we walk the field paths to rejoin the Midshires Way heading north back to Ashby Folville. This is followed by a relaxing drink in the pub with some mulled wine if we're lucky.

Bring a packed lunch.

DISTANCE: 5 miles

TERRAIN: Moderate

MAP: O/S 246 Loughborough

PARKING: As you head into Ashby Folville, you'll see the Carrington Arms in front of you. The road to the left is called Highfield End and should be OK for parking.
