Manton, Egleton, Brooke circular.

 Monday November 8th, with Norma and Eddie. Seven and a half miles. 230 feet of ascent.

Around the reservoir perimeter track as far as Egleton, then we took the footpath to the left taking us back towards the A6003, almost parallel to the route we had already walked.

We crossed the railway by a bridge, and joined the official path near Gunthorpe Hall

The path took us into Brooke, close to the church - the seat was handy for a short pause.

After our break we turned left at the junction and walked along the road to the America Lodge crossroads.  From there the route past Martinsthorpe was the same as on Nov 4th.
