Farnsfield and Halam - a Traquil Path, 12th October 2025

On a misty, moisty morning, Howard's 8.6 mile walk took twelve members from the excellent car park off Parfitt Drive in Farnsfield through the recreation ground and the nearby Millennium Wood and then up through Combs Wood to reach and cross Greaves Lane. More hills and sunken lanes followed until we dropped down to Halam church for lunch and swap one member for another. Gentler hiils took us back to Farnsfield.
