The Walking Group
Leader: Kevin Green - walks@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 07470 227536
The leader will be at the meeting place whatever the weather and only cancel the walk in consultation with those who turn up on the day. No dogs please. Walking boots or strong shoes are recommended. Be prepared for bad weather by taking warm WATERPROOF clothing. Leaders act in a voluntary capacity. All ramblers walk at their own risk.
If you are going to be delayed or you need to contact the leader for any other reason, their mobile numbers are given below.
NOTE
The walk leader is responsible for advising the webmaster of the start point of the walk, and afterwards sending him a walk report. The first aid box and list of emergency contacts will be passed on after each walk to the next leader or to Kevin Green.
Anybody who would like a lift please contact Kevin via mobile or email and I'll arrange with a driver.

Tuesday 6th October. Mountsorrel led by Val
The morning started misty, but still 21 started out from Mountsorrel for a 7.5mile walk. We climbed the hill to the monument, overlooking the Soar valley to admire the view, now that the mist had lifted. We walked on passing Swithland Reservoir, where the sun appeared and warmed us up nicely.
On to meet the Great Central Railway line and to walk alongside the track before following a stream through woods to Quorn. After walking through the village we crossed the A6 Footbridge and on reaching Barrrow on Soar we followed the river bank back to Mount Sorrell and the pub for very welcome refreshment.
