Hose, Colston Bassett and Hickling, 25th August 2019

A very hot day today for Carrie's 10½ mile walk starting near St Michael and All Angels Church in Hose.  The route followed the Grantham Canal before crossing fields to Colston Bassett and then Hickling Basin for a welcome cup of tea or ice cream at The Old Wharf.  Then it was back along the canal to look at this year's brood of young swans.
