Phil led twenty three VBR members on this nine-mile walk starting in the car park next to the Trent at Fiskerton. After following the river as far as the power station, we turned northwest through Staythorpe Village and across the railway to reach Upton, famous for Upton Hall, the home of the British Horological Institute.
