Overview

There will be 2 start times: 9.30 for a longer walk of 7miles, and 10.30 for a shorter walk of 4.25 miles. 

The longer walk will visit the wartime monument on the site of 2 RAF crashes before passing through Hoveringham and the flooded gravel pits with its wildlife. We deviate slightly to visit the picturesque Mill Farm ford before joining those doing the shorter route at Caythorpe. We continue across the fields at Gunthorpe where we rest for mulled wine and mince pies. We then follow the River Trent back to our Start Point at Ferry Farm

Please contact the Leaders to let them know that you are coming on the walk. Please leave your name, contact telephone number and email address. Please also state whether you intend going to the designated meeting place or directly to the start of the walk. This will help ensure that you are not left behind. This should not be regarded as "booking a place".

If you later find that you cannot come on the walk, please notify the Leaders as soon as possible in order that the group is not waiting for you to arrive on the day.

There will be refreshment stops, so bring a drink.

Looking forward to your company on this delightful walk in a pleasant area.
