As it was a beautiful day we were able to do the walk around Papplewick which had been cancelled in January due to the inclement weather.
Our leader took a wrong turn but we were soon back on track ending up at the site of the old lido before returning to Brooke Farm for refreshments.
Next venue to be advised.
We started our last walk of the year from Newstead Village and walked through to the Abbey where we stopped off for refreshments. A beautiful if chilly morning enjoyed by nine brave souls!
Our next walk will be in January 2025!
In October our Strollers group enjoyed a pleasant walk around Bestwood Lakes. The sun shone and the trees put on a colourful display.
Our walk ended at East Side Methodist Church where Maureen Newton had kindly arranged for coffee and biscuits to be served.
On 22nd August, 11 of us really enjoyed the 3 mile River Leen walk from Wilkinson Street tram stop back to Bulwell. It was so peaceful and a bit of a nature reserve.
We saw a heron, ducks, a swan family with 4 nearly adult cygnets, a moorhen and sparrows in the blackberry bushes.
Our ad hoc coffee stop was at the Riverside cafe. We sat outside enjoying the sun and were surprised when one person had a message asking if they needed a lift as it was raining, 10 minutes later, the rain arrived, but nothing spoiled our walk.
The first Easy Walkers group took place in June with Group A going to Bestwood Lakes, Group B to Titchfield Park and Group C to Highfields Park. It was a lovely day for a gentle stroll.
On the visit to Highfields we managed to cross the lake, via the Stepping Stones, without anyone falling in!
We are already planning our July Walks, do come and join us.
