Denton and Barrowby, 12th April 2026

Starting near the church in Denton in glorious sunshine, Paul's 7.3 mile walk took twelve ramblers and two dogs past Denton Reservoir to reach the Grantham Canal at Harlaxton Bridge.  The walk continued along the canal as far as the A1 where we turned towards Barrowby for lunch at the Recreation Ground.  More field paths took us to Surprise View, down to the canal and back to the reservoir and Denton in deteriorating weather.
Very dry underfooot after warm, windy weather
