Newtown Linford from Groby

I spent Saturday walking from Groby to Newtown Linford. The weather was nice, the bluebells were out, it was perfect wandering weather.
The walk crossed three types of land; pasture, fields and woodland giving the walk an interesting variety of vistas.
This wood is very near a quarry and the path skirts around it. Whilst wandering along in here I heard a blackbird mimicking the siren given off when the quarrymen are blasting. It was really convincing!
A speckled wood butterfly sunning itself. The fields that edged the woodland were full of life.
A peacock butterfly. I don't know how long the walk took, because I wasn't paying attention to the time but apparently ot was about 5.8 km long. Here is my root.
