Scott's 7-mile walk started at the (sadly closed) Nevile Arms and took thirteen members along Hall Lane and across the River Smite towards Colston Bassett for bacon butties and coffee at the Village Hall. We then followed Church Gate for a short distance before turning off to cross the Smite again and head towards the ruins of St Mary's Church. Then, after joining Colston Road, we reached the Grantham Canal which we followed back to Kinoulton.
