Hoveringham, Dover Beck and Gunthorpe, 1st March 2026

 Angela's 4.3 mile walk took ten members from the Trentside car park at Hoveringham along the river before turning towards Hoveringham and the fishing lakes in the old quarry.  After reaching the Dover Beck at Hoveringham Mill, we followed it to Caythorpe where flooding prevented us taking the planned route to Gunthorpe and forced us back to the Trent.
