Mainly drove but some walking especially at the stunning Burrough Country Park and at Somerby. Many thanks again for the recommendation. Hope you enjoy your weekend.

Some of the plaques I have seen today on the Trail around Somerby, Burrough on the Hill and Thorpe Satchville. The Stilton Cheese one of the pubs frequented by the 10th still serve excellent food and Ales where I had lunch. I also visited Owston where L Quiripel VC was billeted.

A big thank you goes to @FareBrian who is the organiser of @MeltonMilHist who recommended I visit The Tenth Parachute Battalion's Trail in High Leicestershire. Just 36 of the 582 men returned to Leicestershire after they were decimated in OP Market Garden.
