Nottingham and Beeston Canal and River Trent, 10th July 2022

On a very hot day, Heather's 10-mile walk started near Clifton Bridge on the south bank of the Trent and took nine of us through Wilford Village, crossing the river by the suspension bridge and then joining Nottingham's Big Track bike and walking route.  This uses the Nottingham and Beeston Canal to Beeston Lock and then a path alongside the River Trent back to Nottingham.
