When Heather emailed me last night and asked me to lead the Wednesday walk (as she was on grandparent duties) I warned her to alert the air and sea rescue authorities.  She knows that I have no sense of direction.  Nevertheless I turned right and off we went and then followed the footpath along a new track…..well new to me.  Before I knew it we were “lost” and having a wonderful walk past a hen house in a wooded back garden

and then found ourselves in the beautiful village of Bolnhurst with many thatched houses and farmsteads.

With the Colmworth church spire still visible we were able to find a footpath back to the village across the fields and our usual one hour walk became one and a half hours.  No rescue volunteers had to be called!
