“Incredible morning walking out through Leicester! With the help of local knowledge we found a green corridor like a lung through the heart of the city, not evident from the Ordnance Survey map. We walked along the canal towpath and it was quiet, with very few people – an extremely pleasant way of getting out of Leicester. Then the suburbs, under the M1, and out to Enderby Church. There three walkers left us but we gained another eight so we have 13 or 14 people walking out into the heart of the countryside – including old friends from previous walking tours. We’ve lost the sound of the M69, high corn is growing, and the weather is fantastic.” JJ
