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 17th March. Bosworth, led by Kevin
A glorious day greeted 24 of us as we gathered for our Tuesday walk. After choosing our lunch choices at the café we set off up the hill from the car park to the Battlefield Monument for a group photograph. Following the photo, we passed by Shenton heritage railway station, across a field and onto a short road section though Shenton Village and Whitemore farm.
The next section involved several fields and stiles to negotiate before stopping for coffee at the new Battlefield Monument and then more fields and stiles to reach the tow path of the Ashby Canal back to Sutton Cheney Wharf and then on to the Battlefield café for lunch.
