It was a lovely sunny evening for Howard's 5.2 mile walk when he led a very
select group westward under the 100 year old Gunthorpe Bridge towards Burton
Joyce. We walked past several large fishing and wildfowl lakes on the site of
the former gravel pits, and which are home to a selection of wildfowl, before
returning to Gunthorpe along the River Trent.
Thanks Val for the photos and description.
