Rab's 9½ mile walk roughly followed the River Devon and the Bottesford to Newark railway line north of Bottesford, first to Alverton for coffee overlooking Kilvington Lakes, site of an old gypsum quarry, then on to Staunton for coffee after a circumnavigation of the lakes. Then back via Kilvington across fields and tracks to Bottesford.
