Steve G and his dog Carrie led 10 ramblers on this 10½ mile walk from East Leake along field paths and tracks taking in local sights including the local gypsum industry and Ratcliffe on Soar Power Station, one of the few remaining coal-fired stations in the UK. The Leicester to Loughborough steam train was at the East Leake station at the finish.
