Mousys Survey

3XNovember 2022 by Mary Oz

Route description

This is an alternative to MOUSYS1 that uses a safe A6 crossing as per MOUSIL 2 and fixes the incorrect distance calculation. It would be possible to devise a more scenic alternative that stays closer to the Soar, but this is intended as a safe direct route. Having walked this, I apologise for the plotting through the fields south of Cossington - I was too willing to trust the OS snap to footpath tool and in both cases the trodden line is closer to the rights of way.
