A chilly day. we walked from Burghley Park to Stamford.
After lunch we walked over to Kirby Hall and visited it in beautiful, slightly chilly sunshine.
Sunday 6th August 2023, with Harry and Jack Parry. Three miles or so.
Walk down to the bottom of the flight of locks, pause for a sandwich or soup at the Bridge 61 pub/shop, cross the Rainbow Bridge (Bridge 62) turn left and head towards Leicester on the towpath. Continue as far as you wish, then return.
Lots of dragonflies today, plenty of yellow water lilies, and a family swans, mum, dad and two ‘teenagers’ swimming in strict formation.
