We are the Collingham Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a walk through the flat arable farmland between Odder and South Carlton adjacent to the Catchwater Drain. If the weather is fine there will be good views of Lincoln Cathedral and across to the Trent Valley power stations. On the pre-walk the Red Arrows were practising overhead. The route makes use of Bridleways and lanes some of which have be stoned/ paved.
We will have the usual coffee stop, so remember to bring your own drink.
Boots are advisable as parts of the route could be muddy.
Dogs are permissible as there was no livestock on the route.
