Waltham, Croxton, Branston and Goadby, 19th February 2023


Steve led nine ramblers on an 11 mile walk starting at the north end of Waltham on the Wolds.  The group crossed fields to the Bescaby NATS Beacon that guides planes to East Midlands Airport, passing the restored Bescaby Gallops, and on to Croxton Kerrial for coffee.  A long track led to Branston where the footpath through the Wheel Inn took the group to Eaton for lunch. The afternoon saw us head to the edge of Goadby Marwood before turning to return to Waltham. Some enjoyed a welcome pint at the well-known Royal Horseshoes pub at the finish.

Steve gives us a briefing at our start point on Mere Road, Waltham
