Wrap up for a winter walk

Residents are being urged to wrap up warm, put their best feet forward and get fit by taking part in a series of guided winter walks.
Charnwood Borough Council has unveiled its latest programme of walks leading into the spring.
These take place across Charnwood and are:
Blue Badge Guided Walk – 3rd April  – Barrow Upon Soar – 2.00pm from Holy Trinity Church, Barrow Upon Soar.  Cost: £4 on the day or £3 in advance to walk leader. To book call 0116 261 1576.
Guided Walk – 6th April– Rearsby Circular – 10.00am from Pack Horse Bridge (park on Mill Road) and walk to Thrussington Mill. Walking boots recommended. Cost: Free. 
Cllr Peter Lewis, Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure at Charnwood Borough Council, said: “The walks offer a wonderful opportunity to explore the borough’s beautiful countryside and meet new people.
“They are also ideal for anyone who may have overdosed on the Christmas pudding and feel they may benefit from a bit of exercise!”
People are advised to contact Nita Pearson on 01509 634 594 for walks that don’t need to be booked to check for any changes to the programme.
