Another good VBR turnout (27) on Paul's Queniborough walk ...
... to Gaddesby, Barsby and South Croxton, originally planned for March this year but postponed due to very inclement weather and probable flooding near the Queniborough and Gaddesby Brooks next to the route. No problems with rain this time but plenty of mud.

| Coffee stop at the Cheney arms. This unusual and
interesting name is of Old French origin, introduced into England
by the Normans. The derivation is from the Old French "chesne, chesnai", oak
tree, oak grove, from the medieval Latin "casnetum". |

| Barsby Farm - "straight ahead at the red building", but don't use these instruction next time |
