Sunday 2nd Nov 2008

We head off from North Hykeham, Countryside bound.

Here comes the rain.

This is a nice walk through woodland and lakeside.

Its quite surprising how much countryside is close to Lincoln.

After a quick lunch we move on.

and into more countryside.

Heading back to North Hykeham.

Thanks to Chris for leading this walk and Alan for providing the photos.

The maze is thought to be carved by a small cell of monks that lived here in the 13th century. They would have done it on their knees as penitence.
