Friday 11th October 2011
A beautiful day with blue skies and small clouds, in Rutland’s rolling countryside.
From a spot near Glaston, down the hill,
over the railway bridge with view to the tunnel entrance, down hill, over the tributary stream to the Chater, then a long steady walk uphill to Wing.
We pass the maze on our left, and turn left at the junction,
to go past the village hall and the church,
and a field where a few sunflowers are still flowering.
The road bends left and we pass the stall selling “Butt Nuggets”
and cross the railway again.
At the junction we turn left and follow this small road downhill then up again
to where it joins the road we took to Wing earlier.
Here we turn right and return to our starting point.
Distance, probably around 2 miles.
