Paul's 8.6 mile walk started in Walton on the Wolds and took twelve members along tracks and across fields through Prestwold Park to St Andrew's Church for coffee. Then it was across the A60 towards Stanford Hall Rehabilitation Centre, through Hoton and back to St Andrew's for lunch, before returning to the start via Burton on the wolds.Incidentally, the village sign features a sheep, for the traditional local agriculture, the timber framed house known as Kings Cote and a winged man. The latter is the Rev. Bertie Bird, incumbent of the parish between 1894 and 1942, who was an amateur photographer, and created trick pictures of himself flying.
