Lovely day, but hard walking through soggy fields. Tommy diverted the route since some fields were waterlogged even on high ground.
We walked up Main St and took the path to the left of the church, then across the field to Debdale Lane.

On the other side we continued over three fields before turning sharply to the right, and following field edges east, then south, then east to cross Gumley Rd ( which is the continuation of Debdale Lane).

| An unusual style of stile |
The path headed south east, then south, and crossed the canal via a footbridge.
 |
| Over the canal |
We followed the canal as far as Foxton Locks.

| By Foxton Locks |
At the bottom lock we turned right, leaving the canal, over fields, then across Foxton Rad and Bunkers Hill.
 |
| Enjoying the sunshine |
We walked along the road heading toward Laughton, and took a break a short distance before the village.
 |
| A sheltered spot for a break |
Then we crossed the road for a few more fields - mostl
y downhill, about a mile into Gumley
 |
| More animals enjoying the sun |
 |
| And back to the Bell for lunch |

What a lovely, bright, sunny day!
It was very pleasant. Fields were kind of spongey.
