Kinoulton and Hickling Christmas walk, 10th December 2017


 

Twelve brave souls managed to walk the walk from Kinoulton along the canal to Hickling and back instead of Roger's original route to Colston Bassett, abandoned due to the sudden snowfall.



 At Hickling we enjoyed the customary mulled wine and mince pies ...
... as did the camouflaged swans (the mince pie crumbs that is)...
... before heading back along the canal ...
... and joining the non-walking VBR members at the Nevile Arms ...
... for Christmas lunch, a quiz and a raffle.
This will be a short speech, very short
Thanks Roger, Sheila & Elaine (mulled wine), Brenda & Sue (lunch and raffle), Dave (quiz), John (The Boss) and the staff at the Nevile Arms who coped very well with the unexpected number of diners.  And sorry to those members who could not make it due to the weather.
