Eight men were out braving the cold on this January morning. This week’s walk revisited Long Lawford.
We walked on the lanes to avoid the mud in the fields from the recent wet weather.
We walked around enjoying nature, cows were being fed in the barns and some daffodils were making an early appearance. The old landfill on the site of the old Long Lawford airfield with its gas extraction plant looked a bit like a golf course from a distance.
The last time we walked this route we passed flytipping, again we passed some senseless flytipping of rubbish (who thinks this is ok)?
Later we found a huge green tank being constructed on Coronation Lane, many theories were put forward by the MIRTH men as to the purpose of this tank, it was most likely a slurry tank (you can see the details
https://planning.agileapplications.co.uk/rugby/application-details/39961) yes, that’s a lot of slurry.
We passed over the main West Coast railway. A train of Tesco containers passed underneath on its way from Daventry to Doncaster. It was good to see so many containers off the road.
After the walk, we adjourned to The Old Smithy for lunch. We enjoyed good conversation over our food and drinks. Join us next month for another walk.
