Tuesday 18th August. Around Coton in the Elms led by Julie and Lynn
On a fairly cloudy and slightly cooler day, 19 of us gathered at the carpark in Coton in the Elms and started on our walk into Coton Woods and the Best Kept Village Walk. This was relatively well sign posted apart from a few places where we had to consult our map.
A few challenging stiles at the beginning but with a bit of trimming of brambles by Kevin and John they made the stiles more accessible.
The first village we came to was Lullington, we then followed a path to Netherseal where we then picked up the National Forest Way signs passing through Grange Wood, where we stopped for Lunch, then Potters Wood, Top Wood and Penguin Wood before taking a left into a campsite and back to Coton in the Elms. Just over 8 miles.
