Keyworth, Wysall and Widmerpool, 12th January 2024


Starting in the car park off Elm Avenue in Keyworth, Rab took eigtht of us on an 8¼ mile walk across rolling fields to Wysall for coffee. From there, we picked up the Midshires Way to Widmerpoool for lunch and then the Notts Wolds Way back to Keyworth.

This was an undulating walk crossing several small streams which drain the Leicestershire Wolds west of the Fosse and into Fareham Brook which enters the Trent at Clifton or Kingston Brook which drains into the Soar.
