INSIDE THE WORLD OF MEETUP

I was worried about the high turnout with 30 on meetup and another 8 on WAMM. In the end, I got 19, which was a relief but also slightly annoying. We set off down the road before heading over rugged ploughed fields to Diseworth. There was also a lot of Stiles which a dog walker struggled with. A tip I had previously was to plan the best part of the walk until last, since that's what everyone remembers. Everyone liked the pub stop and the return journey via the airport trail. Eight of us stayed for drinks in the Nag's Head after.

  I couldn't have made the starting location clearer, but, as last time, we were delayed by 15 minutes due to late arrivals. The turnout was 16, which was one of my best. Getting the ugly A46 out of the way and heading by the massive wind turbine into open fields and Cossington meadows. We went into Silby village for a pub stop and back into the meadows. Last few miles by the canal. Great weather, great conversation and great feedback.
