Sproxton, Saltby, Bescaby and Stonesby, 29th October 2023

 Susie's 7.5 mile walk started at Sproxton Village Hall and took 23 ramblers to explore the headwaters of the River Eye which flows to Melton Mowbray where it becomes the River Wreake.  After heading to Saltby for coffee at the church, we headed to Bescaby then Stonesby for lunch before heading back to Sproxton on field paths and farm tracks.
