Monday 26th May
With Harry, Maureen and Kate. We parked at Wakerley Woods, pausing to admire a VW van’s set up for cooking breakfast.
We followed the familiar Jurassic Way route through the woods, past Laxton Hall and over the A43. On the other side of the busy road we crossed a field of sheep, and over the bridge to the short steep climb past Fineshade Abbey.
Over a stile and into another field, where the Highland Cattle were all lying down, some hidden in the patch of trees - we didn’t even see them at first.
The path through the woods was lovely in the dappled sunlight.
One more field to go and we reached the road to Fineshade Top Lodge.
We did a fairly leisurely 3 mile circuit of Fineshade Woods, using the gravel tracks.
A pause for coffee and teacakes at the cafe set us up for the final mile and a half back to Wakerley Woods car park.
Just over 6 and a 1/2 miles in all, and about 350 feet of up and down.
Thanks to Kate for the lift, and Maureen for the scones
