Swinstead, Creeton, Edenham and Grimsthorpe, 22nd January 2023

 John J's 10½ mile walk started at Swinstead Church and took nine VBR members across the West Glen River to Creeton for coffee and on to Edenham for lunch.  Good tracks then took us across the Grimsthorpe Estate with distant views of the Castle and back to Swinstead.  Excellent weather and firm ground all day.
