A word of warning. The walk descriptions are not detailed enough to guide you - please take a map. The batteries never run out, and you always have a signal. Oh, And don't take left or right as gospel!

2024/06/11 - Thrapston to Stanwick Lakes

 


Tuesday 11th June


I drove to Geddington, then Marta drove us both to Thrapston and we asked permission to park in the pub car park.

“Yes, of course, no problem!”

“We were thinking of buying a coffee, “ says Marta, ‘What time does the pub open?”

“Not until 12,” replies the woman, “So it’ll be a long walk”






In fact we didn’t get back until 3pm, since we walked the 5 miles to Stanwick Lakes Visitor Centre and had lunch before walking back. 

 


11 miles in all - legs are complaining, even though it’s one of the flattest walks around!

A cuckoo accompanied us as we approached the Visitor Centre, and we heard it again, very close on the return leg. Also a black cap. 

Very few drops of rain.
