Steve D led six ramblers on a 10 mile walk from South Kyme to Ewerby and
back, following the Slea Navigation. This was built in the 1790s to
link Sleaford to the River Witham near Tattershall, closing in the 1870s with
the opening of the railways. Lunch was taken on memorial steps outside Ewerby
Church and the return walk followed a winding lane through the Lincolnshire
countryside under a sunny autumn sky. Towards the finish the walkers viewed a
14th century tower house in the grounds of the Augustinian Priory of South Kyme.
