Welcome to Cuddly Koala's Blog

Hello all and welcome to my blog, I am Julie and been hiking since a teenager and on family walks before that. I was once very serious about my walking but life changes and I have been away from the hiking scene for 15 years. In 2011 I restarted the interest and will be sharing my adventures with my companion, Lady, she is a Flat Coated Retriever.

Lady and I will hopefully be hiking in the Peak District, Lakes and Snowdonia.

Wistow Park - 3.5 miles

Today started off looking dull and stormy but the weathermen were right the afternoon became mostly sunny but breezy.  Lady and I took the opportunity to visit another local place,Wistow.  Wistow is situated south-east of Leicester and is known for its Garden Centre and Tea Rooms.

We parked the car in the laybye and headed toward Newton Harcourt, we took the footpath heading towards the medievil village and then branched off towards the canal.  We then followed the canal and returned by the road.  The road part was a big mistake, it might be a country village but it was very busy, wouldn't do that part again.  Here are some of the pictures I took...
