Frequent showers caused us to repeatedly put in our waterproofs then take them off when the heat and humidity made us uncomfortable. Lunch was taken at the church in Shelford before walking across to the Radcliffe Cliff Walk above the Trent and dropping down to Radcliffe. Local bus services then took us back to Bingham.
Thanks Rab and Steve and John for the photos.

| Close to Rockley Memorial Park, this is one of several history boards in Radcliffe created by one of our members, Marion. This one depicts the Radcliffe on Trent Lily Ponds situated on the flood plain below the Cliff Walk and opposite Stoke Lock. The site was acquired by Radcliffe on Trent Parish Council in 2014 and is managed as a nature reserve |
