Ended up checking out most places on Saturday (Market H, Oakham, Uppingham, M Mowbray and a load of other places I cannot even remember). Started with a nice cuppa at Tyre Treads house - cheers again Alan!
We stayed at the Whipper Inn in Oakham and drank far too much with some locals in the pub next door
The good news was the trip made us realise we prefer smaller places - loved Oakham for example - rather than the towns as we prefer the more rural feel but still amongst people.
So as a first trip it was really good. We could definitely see ourselves up in that part of the world, so the next few trips in Feb and March will be great to get more familiar and to also explore more.
Thanks for asking!

That's why I like living in Kibworth. We have three villages close together; Kibworth Harcourt, Kibworth Beauchamp & Smeeton Westerby. The population is around 6,000.

We have good amenities in our community including a couple of great restaurants and a selection of cracking shops. We're surrounded by miles and miles of fantastic countryside. We're situated 7 miles from Market Harborough and 9 from Leicester.
Glad you like this part of the world. It is in my view largely underrated and a bit of a hidden gem.

It certainly is a lovely part of the world.

Glad you has a good trip. Sorry I couldn't show you round Harborough.
Blimey, you got around a bit!
No apology required - you and Alison were fabulous!Blimey, you got around a bit!
Yes we got around. I think we got the hotel after 6pm in the end so it was a long day in the car and walking around the villages.

The big changes for us from Devon are that it's very flat round here and everything is so close together.
And the lack of sea VladD said:
Draycott Water is only about 20 minutes east of us, just below Rugby. They have water sports and fishing, so I'd imagine swimming would be allowed.
Off topic, I see you have a Z4 and used to have a Boxster S. How do they compare? I nearly bought a Z4 before I got my Boxster S.
Got rid of the Z4 now but in basic terms the difference is that the Boxster is a wonderfully fluid, well balanced sports car and the Z4 is more cruiser (although in 35 guise it can shift). I found the frond end too floaty in the Z4 under heavy acceleration and did not like the long bonnet when going over crests as you could not see what was over the other side until you were there!!Off topic, I see you have a Z4 and used to have a Boxster S.

I'll be heading back to Porsche territory this year probably.
Trip 2 happening this weekend.
Going to visit Kibworth, Stamford, Rothey, Quorn and Woodhouse Eaves this time if we have time. Will do slightly further north on our next run.
Staying at the Marquess of Exeter in Lyddington on Saturday and will definitely be ready for a drink and some food I should imagine.
