Sunday 3rd March
After an unseasonably warm end to February, the weather was back to normal for the start of March, with cooler and wetter conditions returning, but this did not deter the five of us who braved the occasional showers for a six-mile circular stroll from Conkers Waterside. We started by taking the old railway trail to Donisthorpe, with views over the croquet grounds along the way, before continuing along lakeside paths to Oakthorpe and Willesley Wood, and then on to the café at Hicks Lodge for a refreshment stop, and finally back along the woodland path and canal to Conkers.
