For the second month running it was raining for our walk. This time we were walking around Long Itchington. Five hardy souls set off, first we were walking on tarmacked paths so I thought my boots might stay clean but Richard soon led us off onto muddier and wetter paths across fields. After a while we were walking on the old railway route connecting Southam and Rugby before dropping down onto the canal.
We were almost back to the cars when the footpath was flooded as the stream had burst its banks. One of our members sensibly attired in wellingtons helped us find the best route through.
On arriving back Terry pointed out the blue plaque for the inventor of time travel apparently he will live in Long Itchington in some 75 years time (see photos below)
Once back we retired to the Blue Lias Inn for a well-earned lunch and to dry out.
