Short Walks March

HUCKNALL U3A SHORT WALKS GROUP
22 of us braved the high winds on our walk from the Bird in Hand, Blidworth. Our route took us on the 19 stile & gates path towards Ravenshead past the “Rickets Stone” through which children were put as it was supposed to protect them from Rickets.
Our route continued through Fountaindale, where Robin Hood & Friar Tuck met, then back through woodland & farmland to Blidworth for a very enjoyable lunch & of course a drink.
Our next walk is a four and a half mile walk around Hickling and the Grantham Canal with 4/5 stiles. Meet at the Plough Inn [LE14 3AH] for a 10.00 a.m. start. Park locally if there is no room at the pub. Looking forward to a walk with no steep climbs, so come and join us.
