Starting in Dirty Duck Lane, off Sedgebrook Road near Woolsthorpe, Brian led 19 ramblers on a 6.5 mile walk firstly along the Grantham Canal to reach the Viking Way at Longmoor Bridge (Bridge 62). Crossing the canal we walked up to Brewer's Grave before dropping down to pass the Chequers Inn in Woolsthorpe by Belvoir and then followed the River Devon towards Stenwith. Returning along the Grantham Canal, we stopped for lunch before passing the renewed Woolsthorpe Middle Locks and then walked back to the Dirty Duck.
