Thurgarton, Bleasby, Gibsmere and Gonalston, 13th February 2022

Maggie's 7.8-mile walk today navigated round the old gravel pits between Thurgarton and the Trent with an excursion to Gonalston Church for lunch.  Glen's group on the 10.8-mile walk took to the hills to the north of Thurgarton after the similar lowland route before returning to Thurgarton via Hagg Farm and the Priory.
