Long Clawson, Holwell Mouth and Nether Broughton, 30th December 2018

Phil led twenty nine ramblers on this seven mile walk from Long Clawson. The group left the village on a long upward path passing the old village mill.  Coffee was taken at Holwell Mouth, with a fallen tree providing good seating, and lunch at the edge of Nether Broughton before we climbed Slyborough Hill to return to Long Clawson. The weather was dry and warm for the time of year.
