After their aquatic adventure at Aslockton earlier this year, our walkers have been on drier ground recently. Firstly, they enjoyed a walk starting from Farnsfield, and including the memorial site for the Halifax bomber which came down in 1944. Then, in July, we set off from Edwinstowe for a circular walk around Sherwood Forest. We first stopped at the railway crossing, now a test track; in 1953, a day excursion by train to Chesterfield was 2/3d return, but only on Market days!
The photos show our group, being well-behaved, evading the old ‘lock-up’ in Farnsfield, then at the very recognizable Major Oak at Edwinstowe.
Thanks to firstly Kevin and Keith, then Steve and Anne for organizing these two walks. Our walks continue on the third Monday of each month, except for December. We can always welcome new members – to join us, just use the contact details in the Newsletter.
