A fine 9-mile walk led by Maggie starting near the (closed) Welby Arms in Denton, first up the road to the old railway and then over the hill towards Woolsthorpe for coffee. Dropping down to the Dirty Duck we then strolled on the busy Grantham Canal to Denton Wharf for lunch before returning via The Drift and Halaxton to Denton.
