Tuesday 06m Walking Group - next 2 walks
| 18 Aug | Leader: Cliff Knowles Start at 10:00 am at Marefield Lane, Tilton on the Hill, LE7 9LA. what3words.com/upcoming.obstinate.alternate Please park considerately on the road. There will be the usual hazards for this time of year notably harvesting and ploughing plus a ford (normally very easy to cross) and one unusually steep hill (for Leicestershire). There are around 10 stiles. Unfortunately the village pub is not open for weekday lunches so a lunch venue has not been organised. SK743058 |

The walk which is around 6 miles long will proceed from the starting point up to Cropston along by the Reservoir into Bradgate Park, and from there, we shall head back to Anstey through some fields. It is a flat easy route on good footpaths with a small section on the road. There are no stiles to negotiate and no significant climbing.
