Rab's walk started near St Mary's Church in Eastwell buta knee injury at the start meant that Scott et al had to take over leading this pleasant country walk in the undulating, North Leicestershire Wolds. The route took us over varied terrain with extensive views passing through the lovely stone villages of Eaton and Branston using byways and the Jubilee but was shortened to 6.9 miles due to uncertainty about the originally-intended route.
Thanks to Elaine for taking Rab home, on to A&E and recovering his car left in Eastwell.
