Friday 16th January. Meet at the Hood Park gates for a walk to Tescos

It was a dry but overcast day and 8 people met at the Hood Park gates and we set off along North Street and at the bend in the road, we took the footpath through Wainright's yard and soon we were at the kissing gate and on the better path which opens out by the new car park which had one car in it. We continued on the path accross the entry road to the new estate, Warner road. The path continued by the new houses, we took the right fork staying parallel to Nottingham road. The path then followed Gilby close and crossed Woodcock way. Followes a grassy area. Here we took another right fork that led to Plantagenet way and on to Featherbed lane which we turned right on until we found the footpath again which led to Discovery way and to Tesco's cafe. After a drinks break, we returned on the same path stopping for a photograph at the new car park which now had 4 cars. Total distance just over 1.5 miles
