The walk passed through Uffington Park crossing the River Welland and alongside the disused Stamford Canal (begun in 1664 and used to transport barley for malting from Market Deeping to Stamford). Passing St Leonard’s Priory in Stamford, the walkers stopped at the Princess Diana Garden in Burgley Park and had lunch after crossing Burgley Golf Club. After lunch we were drenched by a heavy shower on the last mile to the finish back at Barnack.
