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!
Strollers Group
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.
Easy Walkers
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.
Easy Walkers
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.
