Starting at St Mary's Church in Queniborough, Paul took ten members on an 8-mile walk to Gaddesby for a brief coffee stop and then on through Barsby to St John the Baptist's Church in South Croxton for lunch. The route made use of surprisingly good field paths alongside Queniborough Brook and Gaddesby Brook, two streams which eventually join the River Wreake.

| Coffee stop at the Cheney arms. This unusual and interesting name is of Old French origin, introduced into England by the Normans. The derivation is from the Old French "chesne, chesnai", oak tree, oak grove, from the medieval Latin "casnetum" |
