Higham on the Hill nr Hinckley Leicestershire - Thursday 17 January 2008
This walk amongst the paddy fields and boat people of Hinckley's Ganges delta was organised by Talbert and Peter. The weather forcast was terrible but apart from a 20 minute spell of rain we stayed dry. There had obviously been a shower or two earlier though....

The walk was less than 6 miles long and through pleasant countryside and would have been relatively easy for our first outing of 2008 if it wasn't for the deep mud over most of the route. We also encountered one or two stiles along the way and the mud made some of these a bit of a challenge.

START POINT: The Fox Inn, Higham on the Hill Nr Nuneaton CV13 6AH Tel 01455 212241

DIRECTIONS: The easiest option is to come down the M1, onto the M69 and turn onto the A5 North. After about 5 miles you turn right to Higham.
You will see from your maps that there are several shorter routes and those of you who received a Sat Nav in your Christmas stocking may wish to give it a whirl.
