On Saturday we walked from the house on a 3.5 mile route which is flat all the way and makes use of a Byway so the going is quite easy. It was an opportunity to introduce Mary to Market Rasen Golf Club and Market Rasen Racecourse.

We drove to Tealby and walked part of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_Way" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Viking Way</a> to Walesby. This is part of the Lincolnshire Wolds and so there were a number of ups and downs made all the more interesting by the snow-covered, icy surfaces.

Part of the walk goes through a farm specialising in <a href="http://risbygrangelongwools.co.uk/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lincolnshire Longwool sheep</a> and some of them had very cute sheep as shown here. It was just over 4 miles but we were ready for lunch by the time we got back to the car. We're now planning a longer walk next week along another part of the Viking Way.
