“It looks like Wed will finish in The Red Lion, Mkt Bosworth.

Then Thurs will finish with a walk through the Catton Estate. Just had very supportive chat with owner. J”

Final update from John for anyone wanting to join him for final stage of the walk on Thursday:

“We should be at the village of Netherseal [just off the A444] about 3pm and will take the footpath north of Grange Wood, past Park Farm to Coton-in-the-Elms. Then on through Raddle Farm Wood and into Catton Park.

This is roughly 8 miles.

Meet you There. JJ”

John has just heard that Boff (from Chumbawamba) and Tim (from the Reluctant Ramblers) will join him for the second day of the walk to CattonHall which starts at Market Bosworth.

Are you joining John to walk to the Big Session and need to park a car at the Catton Hall site so it’s there when you arrive?

The festival organisers have said that walkers can leave cars in the BS car park on the Wednesday and Thursday. All the setup crew will be there so there will be plenty of other vehicles parked there. However, there will be no overnight security and parking is at your own risk.

The Big Session signage will be up by the Wednesday so when you arrive at Catton Hall just follow the signs and they take you into the car park.

Those of you who were at the Ragged Kingdom concert at the Union Chapel will have seen that we now have a flyer for the White Horses walking tour. You can view it by clicking here.

Welcome to all ramblers and music lovers. We’ll be adding more information here as plans develop, and John will be blogging during the tour itself. Please feel free to leave your own comments, ideas and suggestions!
