Monday 10th June
With Kate, Norma and Maureen. We decided as a group that we needed to wander slightly further afield than of late. It’s an old favourite walk, from Empingham via the path through the woods to the dam,
and then to cafe at Normanton car park.
We followed our usual route back, taking the road past Bracknell House and Oak Farm, then the footpath close to the wall near Whare Koa.
Then it’s the quiet road past Normanton Cottages.
At the road junction, we turned right, continued slightly uphill until we reached two footpath signs on our left. We took the left hand path which goes downhill over a couple of fields, then crosses a road, and continues, eventually crossing the river Gwash and reaching the road to Mill farm.
A little further on the footpath leaves the road , crosses a footbridge, and another field, and leads into Empingham.
There were couple of brief showers while we were out, one while in the cafe, otherwise windy but quite warm in the sun.
7.3 miles.
