Burton Joyce, 24th January 2016

Today's walk ...

... took us up the Trent from Stoke Lane near Burton Joyce Station, past the Ferry Boat Inn ...

... to Stoke Lock...

... along the river ...

...   to the Radcliffe-Netherfield railway bridge.

  We then popped up to the Netherfield Lagoons Nature Reserve ...

..... to view the bird life (mainly cormorants) ...

... before skirting the fringes of Nethefield into Gedling and up to the hills between Gedling and Lambley for lunch.

Lunch at Gedling Wood - Phil describes his recent high speed crash

Then it was back down Lambley Lane and the impressive Crock Dumble ...

... to Burton Joyce, famous for what, I forget ...

William Booth the founder of The Salvation Army was born in 1829 - but not in Burton Joyce!

... and then alongside Crock Dumble to the Trent.

Several people asked my why I thought this was the best bit of the walk - silly question!
