Tuesday 20th January. From the Smisby Arms, led by Kevin
The sun was shining for the first time this week as 21 of us met outside the Smisby Arms. On leaving the pub we stopped briefly for photograph by the old lockup building. To avoid some serious mud and several stiles we set off up the road passing Smisby Church. After crossing the Ashby / Ticknall road and passing the first Pisternhill farm we moved carefully down a very slippery Pisternhill passing a group of walkers from Lichfield u3a coming the other way. The walking came a lot easier and less muddy as we joined the Tramway Trail and into Calke Explore for a coffee stop. Continuing along the trail we passed by Heath End farm joining the Ivanhoe Way for a short period before passing Wicket Nooks cottage, the second Pisternhill Farm and back to the Smisby Arms for lunch.
