Launde Abbey, Loddington and Belton in Rutland, 13th November 2022

 Paul's 10½ mile, undulating walk today started at Launde Abbey and took eight of us on good tracks to Loddington and then on to Belton in Rutland for lunch.  Six took the full route but two headed for home.  The route made full use of the many waymarked footpaths in the area - the Rutland Round, The Leicestershire Round, the Macmillan Way and the Leighfield Way.
