We then follow the route through Newtown Linford towards an area of former quarries and return to Groby Pool.

This is a Christmas social walk so we will be having lunch at The Stamford Arms in Groby. It is not a set menu but it will be good to book on this walk by Monday 9th December so I can give numbers to the pub in advance. I will also send menus out so choices can be made.

Please book on the walk by messaging the leader using the mobile number
