From Beeston Lock, Dave took seventeen members and guests on an 8.6 mile walk past Beeston Weir to follow the Trent downstream on the Big Track before returning to the lock for a coffee at the Canalside Heritage Centre. A walk along the Trent into Derbyshire followed before we cut off through the Attenborough Nature Reserve to the Centre for lunch. We then went into Attenborough Village near the church before returning to the Trent and the Heritage Centre for refreshments.
Thanks John for the photos.
