Great Oakley to East Carlton via Pipewell and Wilbarston

From Mel Jarvis'sAround Corby Walk but clockwise. With Barry and Gordon. Lovely dry sunny morning with no wind. About 7 miles - no big climbs, but lots of high stiles!




Monks in sheep's clothing - on the site of Pipewell Abbey

The wide expanse of Pipewell/ Desborough airfield






Some info on the airfield If the link doesn't work first time try refreshing the page. No idea why!





Another link to a story from BBC People's War website mentions the airfield and more about Corby and Northants in WW2




One of several stiles




The path follows the line of the hedge




Worth a dollar or two?




Approaching Wilbarston






To be investigated?

Wildlife - rabbits possibly a hare, definitely a fox running across the field with his brush flowing as he ran
