Angela took ten members on a 5¾ mile walk from Cossington and across fields to reach and follow the River Wreake from where it joins the Grand Union Canal. Then it was on to join and follow the River Soar past Cossington Meadows Nature Reserve as far as Sileby Marina where we turned up Mill Lane to Sileby and then back to Cossington.

| The start - behind All Saints' Church, Cossington |
 |
| Chestnut Farm Solar Farm (23MW). Disappointing that there has been no attempt plant trees to screen the panels from view, nor to co-crop beneath the panels, nor to provide new footpath signs when the ROW was redirected |
 |
| Joining the Grand Union Canal where it meets the River Wreake |
 |
| Lock where the canal leaves the Wreake |
 |
| Bridge near where the Wreake and the canal meet the Soar |

| Cossington Meadows Nature Reserve |

| Sileby Marina |

| Drizzle at the end. Cossington War Memorial and Magpie Cottage, the oldest house in the village, built around 1584 |
