Exton, Fort Henry and Greetham

With Maureen, Monday 13 January. A dull Monday with the promise of drizzle, but the need to get out and walk took us into Rutland. There was no rain until we finished the walk.

The early section past the chicken farm - with no sign of chickens today - was rather muddy, but it wasn't deep.

Quite a lot of the walk is on hard tracks, with some grassy field paths before Greetham Valley Golf Course.  As usual on this walk we had a coffee in the golf club bar - everyone very welcoming.

We were pleased to see lots of tits flitting about on the feeders near the hide.

The route was much the same as on earlier walks, making a total of just over 8 miles. We walked the shape of a manta ray - fun, but not deliberate!
