 Starting at Keyworth's Rectory Field off Elm Avenue, Rab led 14 ramblers on an 8¼ mile walk across rolling country on tracks and field paths including part of the Notts Wolds Way. There were a few stiles and a few gentle hills.  Coffee was taken at the Methodist Church in Bradmore and lunch in the churchyard of St Mary’s Church in Plumtree.
