Oxton, Epperstone and Woodborough, 9th February 2020

Woodborough




Storm Ciara kept all sensible walkers at home today except for a magnificent seven.  So, starting at Oxton Church, off we went on John's 8-mile walk on good tracks to Epperstone for coffee and the opportunity to catch a bus home (or not).  Then in better weather than expected we made it to Woodborough for lunch before the heavens opened near Calverton for the worst rain ever experienced by our group (allegedly).
The start point - St Peter and St Paul's Church, Oxton



Water Lane, Oxton
Good going for once - track up to Park Farm

Rain on the camera - waiting for the bus

Lowdham Lane  - one of many fallen trees
