Overview

**NOTE EARLIER START TIME OF 10:00**
**JOINT WALK WITH COALVILLE RAMBLERS**

A a 9.5 - 10 mile route starting from Beacon Hill lower car park near Loughborough (off Breakback Road LE12 8TA, grid ref SK522148). Parking is £5 all day, the car park is open until 5pm in February and has toilets and a cafe.

The greater part of the route will be before lunch with the last 4 miles or so after lunch. Leaving the car park the route heads south-west with an ascent of Broombriggs Hill, then heads east via Woodhouse Eaves and the Leicestershire Round, then north into Quorn where we'll have our lunch stop.

There will be the opportunity to visit the pub for a quick drink but I recommend you bring lunch with you as there won't be time for a pub lunch.

After lunch we'll head south-west out of Quorn via Woodhouse to Woodhouse Eaves, over Windmill Hill and back to the start point. Total ascent 265m / 862ft.
