Scott's 8 mile walk took us from Swithland Wood up to Old John Tower (Peak 1, 216m) in Bradgate Park then down to Lingdale Golf Club. A gradual climb took us up to Beacon Hill (Peak 2, 245m) with views in all directions. We then dropped down to the Beacon Hill Country Park car park for lunch before diverting up to Windmill Hill (Peak 3, 147m) and then through Woodhouse Eaves and Swithland Wood back to the start.
