Elaine's 8.5 mile walk (allegedly) took us from the cafe in Clumber Park and along the north shore of lake to pass close to Hardwick Village before crossing the A614 and following the River Poulter to Crookford Farm and ford. The return took us along the Robin Hood Way to Hardwick Village for lunch before walking south of the lake to Clumber Bridge and the start.
