Meeting in Ashby we will catch the 9.57 bus out to Swadlincote and then do a linear walk taking in Albert Village Lake, Blackfordby and the outskirts of Smisby. The walk uses a mix of town paths, permissive and public footpaths - a fair bit of it should be reasonably clean underfoot but we're bound to find a bit of mud! Not many stiles but there are a couple of high ones.
There are plenty of facilities in Ashby at the start/end of the walk (and almost certainly toilets at Swad when we get off the bus) but no facilities en route that I know of.
Bus stop on Market Street, Ashby de la Zouch - outside Boots Opticians/Coffee One. Please note, the bus leaves at 9.57. There is a new long term car park in Ashby off Nottingham Road, near the grammar school - it's a short walk down into town.
