Scalford, Holwell and Melton Country Park, 29th December 2019

Steve D led twenty one Ramblers on this 7½ mile, undulating walk from Scalford to Holwell, Melton Country Park and back to Scalford via the Jubilee Way. The fields were very muddy and the stiles were very sloppy due to recent heavy rains.
