Waltham on the Wolds, Bescaby and Stonesby, 7th June 2026

Steve led 18 ramblers on an 8-mile walk starting from the north end of Waltham on the Wolds village. We crossed field paths to the NATS station acting as a beacon for East Midlands airport, before following the gallops of the old Croxton Park race track to Bescaby. Passing through Diamond Wood, coffee was taken at the Bescaby duck ponds. Further paths took us towards Saltby before we turned back towards Stonesby where lunch was taken at the church. Finally we passed through the old Stonesby Quarry to retrace our earlier steps back to the start.

Thanks Steve for photos.
