Hello and welcome back to my blog 😊.

This morning I met up with Mick and we did a pleasant 8 mile walk in the Vale of Belvoir starting and finishing at the Dirty Duck pub in Woolsthorpe-on-Belvoir. We walked along the Grantham canal to Harlaxton then across fields to Denton Reservoir where we had a cuppa. After which, we walked to Denton and picked up the disused ironstone railway line back to Woolsthorpe.

It certainly was a fresh start to the day – there was ice on the canal!

There is something nice about a crisp winters morning. It was good because there was very little wind and we were keen to do a brisk walk along the towpath to get warm.

We met joggers, dog-walkers and cyclists along the way – all enjoying the sunshine. When we reached the reservoir it was quiet and looked magnificent in the sun.

Refreshed after a coffee stop at the reservoir we made our way to the old railway line. Somebody has put a coating of what looks like asphalt granules on the path which was a proper mess.

There were a few muddy sections along the walk today but because they were frozen it wasn’t such an issue.

A good little walk. Till my next one,

Happy Walking 😊
