Wigston & Glen Parva 04 May 2014

Another post from Chris:

I only did the first part of this walk, but it was very good weather and surprisingly the walk was very rural given its close start to Leicester city centre.

Karl took us to two historic sites; a moat from the 13th to 15th Century, and a standing stone - neither the purpose nor age of which were identified.

We also visited the Ice House in Bouskell Park which was basically a Victorian fridge except much bigger, and it also needed a cooling pond (see the group photo in front of it below). It makes you appreciate the R134a Compressor on the back of your fridge!
We had a caption for this, but we lost it behind the fridge...
After Bouskell park we followed 'Long Walk' from Bouskell park (Karl, I thought you said the first part was a short walk!).
