Monday 17th June
I collected Maureen at 9.30 and drove out to Foxton Locks on a lovely warm morning! We parked at the top car park.
We walked down the path close to the museum,
and followed the towpath north across Bridge 61 until we passed Debdale Wharf Marina.
We continued to a footbridge where a footpath leads south, Debdale Grange Farm. We took the opportunity to eat a scone and have a drink.
We followed the field edge rather than the footpath route, all slightly uphill, as this was clearer. 
The foxgloves are tall this year!
When we reached Debdale Lane we turned right and walked for a short distance. Before reaching a road junction we took a footpath to our right (roughly south). Again we followed field edges, as the path through the field was unclear. Easy enough to find the gate and footbridge,
which took us through a field of cows who showed very little interest in us.
Through some farm buildings where the footpath appears to have been slightly rerouted round the edge of the field, rather than across, but it soon enough joined the Leicestershire Round path and we crossed Footbridge (bridge 63) over the GU Canal, turned right and were very quickly back at Rainbow Bridge and the Bridge 61 pub for coffee and a sandwich.
Just over 5 miles by the time we arrived back at the car park to be greeted by a few drops of rain.
