A misty start to the new year, 4 January 2015

In Loughborough on Sunday morning the temperature was -1°C, and the pavement was so icy that even walking up to the railway station for the start of the day's walk was a mini-adventure. We all managed to get there without slipping over, and met up with the crowd. Fortunately the walk itself, along the canal to Zouch and back, proved rather less treacherous!

Therewere nineteen of us on the walk, and the mist made for an atmospheric setting as you can see here from Yvonne's photos. Louisa was leading, and had made sure we could warm up from the freezing fog by booking us into  the Old Rose and Crown for Sunday lunch - and a very good lunch it was too! Then after lunch we reversed the route back to Loughborough and the canalside Boat Inn for the usual post-walk refreshment.

A special welcome to everyone who was on their first walk with LRWG - we thought it was a great start to the year and hope to see you on another walk soon!
