Belvoiring about, 21-28 October 2012


We’ve been gallivanting about in the Vale of Belvoir quite a bit recently, much to the delight of the local innkeepers.  This week’s photo of Belvoir Castle is actually from a pre-walk (i.e. a test of a route) which a few of us indulged in while a larger part of the group was down south on the South Downs – and since the route proved largely successful apart from the accidental bit of mass trespass (woops!), it’ll be on the programme in a month or two, so more about that later.



The second of our ambles around the castle was on a day too grey to warrant many photographs, but nevertheless just about dry enough to be a good time to return to a route already popular with both Leicestershire and Lincolnshire walking groups, which is why we ran it as a combined walk.  So, a surprisingly large bunch of us headed up onto the Wolds, along the ridge, down to Stathern for a pint and beside the canal all the way back to Redmile, where we ducked into another pub which proved to have been used as a location setting for Auf Wiedersehen Pet, of all things.  Haway, Andy, wor we gannin’ next?
