Harby, Hose and the Harby Hills, 7th January 2024

 


Rab's six-mile walk took 16 members from the Village Hall in Harby along the Grantham Canal to Hose.  From there, we walked across fields towards the disused railway line just below the Harby Hills.  Crossing then re-crossing the railway, we then walked back to Harby on a mixture of good tracks and flooded field paths..
