Misty walk through the Garendon Estate

Such a cold and misty morning this morning that I decided to walk through the Garendon Estate from the entrance on Coe Avenue, to Shepshed and back via Pear Tree Lane and Gorse Covert Hill. Just about managed to see things I would normally expect to see, like the Bavarian Gates, but also some other interesting things like the Shepshed Watermill, allotments at Shepshed, various views of the Black Brook, and a view through to Gorse Covert Hill. Although it looks like we didn't finish we started, we did really, but didn't set the route monitoring thingy until just after we'd started!!
