Starting at Woodborough Village Hall, four members braved the Amber heat warnings to come on Roger’s 10.6 miler. The walk (with regular water stops) went through Springfield Golf Course towards Oxton, headed round Epperstone Park towards Epperstone and Hagg Farm before approaching Lowdham and returning via Ploughman Wood.
Thanks Roger for the photos and track.
