February’s walk around Sherwood Forest being the groups first walk of the year proved to be an interesting venture for the 28 members of our group.
Starting from the Cricket ground car park we walked via the visitor centre to the forest grazing area were several members paused to observe the bird wildlife,
we returned to the visitor centre via the Major Oak for well earned refreshments.

Our March Walk around Selston will be lead by John and Sue Tedstone starting from the Hole In the Wall Carvery car park at 10am.

Our walk on February 16th is around Sherwood Forest.

Starting at the usual time of 10am we will follow a way-marked route taking in points of interest and viewpoints along the way in this ancient forest.

The starting point is the car park at the cricket ground in Edwinstowe NG21 9RN.

After the walk refreshments may be purchased from the Visitor Centre and a short walk will return you to the cricket ground and car park.

DAY OUT IN DERBYSHIRE IN JUNE

We are planning a dayout in Derbyshire in June 2012 we intend to do a short walk as normal along Monsal Dale and the Monsal trail in the morning calling at Bakewell in the afternoon for lunch and sightseeing.

We have to decide if we are going by coach or to car share, the main advantage of a coach is we can do a linear walk with the coach picking us up at an agreed point.

We are still at the planning stage at present and need to gauge the level of interest before proceeding further.

Please see Jim at the open meeting or contact him by phone if you are interested giving him your travel preference for coach or car share.

Addition – 6 February 2012
