To Barrow & Back

Another branch line

Rambler escape vehicles in training

It was a windy walk, meeting at platform 9 and ¾ at Loughborough Railway Station; some new members came back for more, even for a walk of 12 miles. So we all set off taking in views of wide open fields. Through a small woodland and ending up in Hoton, then onwards to Prestwold. Walking through a yew avenue to the church where we sheltered from the wind to munch our sarnies. Seeing the first sign of spring on the way with snowdrops in a corner, being early by two weeks!




Over to Walton on the Wolds where we were honoured to meet Julius Caesar on the edge of a footpath. After much hilarity taking photos we marched onto Barrow where we had our first pub stop.  Catching a breath before walking again - taking in the lovely scenery of the towpath all the way from Barrow to another pub at Loughborough.

En route to pubs 1 and 2!
