2nd Jan Mud, Mud, glorious mud

Walk 1349 - A Circular walk from Hunningham

We were looking for a walk to take near Leamington Spa before we picked up this weeks grocery shop from ASDA and the internet produced this little gem on the Walking Britain site. Only 4 miles so well within our capabilities even though there was a fine rain as we left home.
Parking at the Red Lion  we headed across the River Leam and through the kissing gate (yes we always do) towards Cubbington through varying depths of mud. Some patches so deep it covered our boots and other places were it was hardly noticeable. From Hunningham to Cubbington we followed the Millenium Way.

this trough style bridge was new to us!

 Walking back meant following normal public footpaths, although it did seem like not many of the public were following them. Possibly the amount of mud was slightly off-putting and the public would be flocking in their droves come the dry season to sample the delights of the great British outdoors.



After yet more muddy fields, a footbridge over the swollen river Leam and a field of sheep we returned to our starting point and a mud splattered jaunt around the supermarket. Next week we are looking for something a little less pathless!
