Paul led thirteen members on a lovely walk through Leicestershire's beautiful, rolling countryside from Tugby to Rolleston then south through Noseley towards Glooston. The group split after 5 miles so that some took a shorter, 8½ mile route back to the start whilst the rest managed the full 11 miles to Glooston and Cranoe.
Some good tracks, some ploughed fields, some brilliant sunshine and some light rain.
