The leader will be at the meeting place whatever the weather and only cancel the walk in consultation with those who turn up on the day. No dogs please. Walking boots or strong shoes are recommended. Be prepared for bad weather by taking warm WATERPROOF clothing. Leaders act in a voluntary capacity. All ramblers walk at their own risk.

The walk leader is responsible for advising the webmaster of the start point of the walk, and afterwards sending him a walk report. The first aid box and list of emergency contacts will be passed on after each walk to the next leader or to Kevin Green.
Anybody who would like a lift please contact Kevin via mobile or email and I'll arrange with a driver.

Tuesday 19th May. Castle Donington, led by John Pilgrim
Thirteen hardy souls braved the early morning drizzle, and forecast for more, for a 6 1/2 mile circular walk starting from The Nags Head, Castle Donington. Fortunately, the forecast was wrong and within a short while the drizzle was gone and later the sun made an appearance. The route took in various landmarks from huge logistics facilities and EM airport, to older railways, churches and thatched, timber framed housing, through the villages of Lockington and Hemington, along good paths and no stiles (bonus). This provided a lovely balance of the modern and ancient, to help maintain our interest. We returned to The Nags Head and all stayed for a lovely pre-booked lunch.
