Car Colston and Bingham Evening Stroll, 20th June 2023

 Val led this pleasant 5-mile stroll from the Royal Oak in Car Colston towards Scarrington, turning off to cross fields to the edge off Bingham.  A short climb over Parson's Hill (other routes are available) took us to circumnavigate  Archer's Lake, a flood alleviation scheme, and back to the pub in Car Colston for a drink.

Archer's Lake, a Flood Storage Reservoir, "constructed with a 100 thousand cubic metre capacity to accommodate a one in a thousand-year flood" - allegedly
