Tuesday 16th June. Beacon Hill and Outwoods, led by Val and Trev
On a bright sunny day 20 of us set out from Beacon Hill lower car park, walking out to Broombriggs Hill to admire the view over Leicester and “Old John” in Bradgate Park.
We continued along the ridge to cross back into Beacon Hill Park and upwards to the Beacon, where we walked on to cross the Avenue and down through the trees to cross the stream over stepping stones. In the field we stopped for our break in the warm sunshine.
Then onwards, to cross the road into the Outwoods, following the tracks down to the lower path, which eventually heads back to the road, which on a good path we followed it back to Beacon Hill Car park and picnic area, where those of us who brought picnics, stopped for a well earned break. We had walked 6.5 miles.
