October 2023walk

October 2023walk

The October walk from the South Kilworth Golf Club was led by Janet and Jenny.  The early morning rain had stopped by the time we started the walk.  Leaving the Golf Club we turned left onto South Kilworth Road and after a few hundred yards turned left into The Belt.  At the end of the road we followed the waymarked path across the golf course and a field to the track by North Kilworth Mill Farm.  Turning right we continued down to Bridge No 40 on the Grand Union Canal where we followed the towpath to our right.  After passing Bridge No 29 we soon reached Sybolds Spring Bridge No 38 where we turned right into a rather muddy field.  Crossing this field the track then went through the edge of Sybolds Spinney and across another field to join the canal towpath at Bridge 39.  Crossing this bridge we went uphill until we met the track from Hall Lane.  Here we had our break before continuing left down to the canal towpath at Bridge No 40.  Crossing over we followed this track uphill past the farm until we reached St Andrew's Church in North Kilworth.  Passing the church we walked along Dag Lane to South Kilworth Road.  Turning left we were soon back at the Golf Club for our lunch.
