The Windmill is unable to provide lunch for us but has agreed to allow us to use the car park and the toilets before the walk.

An alternative lunch venue is Pesto at The White Horse near to Desford crossroads LE9 9JJ. It serves Italian food. The manager would like an indication of how many are likely to require lunch so if you know for certain that you will be there and would like lunch please contact the leader beforehand. We can confirm precise numbers on the day but we won't pre-order the meals.

There are also road works taking place in the area and there are road closures planned week commencing 11th August. Alternative route from Desford - travel to Hunts Lane, turn left, follow the road right to Brascote and turn right into the Windmill pub LE9 9LE. Please allow plenty of time for your journey as things might have changed by the day of the walk.
