Paul led seventeen Ramblers on this 4.9 mile walk starting at The Buttercross in Bingham Market Square. After crossing the Nottingham to Grantham railway at the bottom of Moor Lane, we walked by Archers Lake to cross fields to the fishing lakes north of Bingham. Emerging from the undergrowth, we crossed by Car Colston Cricket Ground and then stopped by the Royal Oak for drinks. After a slight diversion to avoid cattle, we took the footpath back to the bridge across Car Dyke and then over Parsons Hill to Bingham.
Then to celebrate VBR's 30th Anniversary, members and friends enjoyed tea and cakes in the orchard at Appletrees provided by hostess Elaine and other members of the Committee.
