Hello and welcome back to my blog 😊.

Today myself and Angela met up with Amigo Chris and enjoyed a scenic, 5-mile circular, undulating walk, from Croxton Kerrial to Branston. The views along the way were fabulous and the dry sunny weather much appreciated after a couple of weeks of showers.

We parked in a lay-by on the outskirts of Croxton Kerrial and eagerly set off heading across fields.

We crossed through meadows laden with yellow buttercups and our route took us downhill.

Soon, we were heading steadily uphill.

We took a route around the outside of a field because there was no path across (there should have been!) and we didn’t want to damage the crop.

Eventually we crossed the A607 and were soon taking in a nice view across fields.

We stood for a while drinking in the view and then headed downhill once more towards the village of Branston.

Arriving into Branston we spotted a bus shelter and took a break. I enjoyed my scotch egg and the banter 😊

Leaving Branston by the road we turned onto an undulating track. Having done this walk in Winter, when the track was very muddy, it was nice to walk it whilst it was dry.

The track ended at a concrete lane that led to Croxton Kerrial village.

We admired the unusual sight of a water spout on the roadside by the layby where we had parked. Apparently it is spring fed.

We had enjoyed a lovely scenic walk.

Happy Walking ! 😊🚶
