Thursday U3A 6-milers - next 3 walks
| 09 Jan | Helen Paterson-Sylt is leading a walk from Ibstock. This walk starting from the free car park in Ibstock High Street. This is opposite The Ram Inn with Post Code LE67 6LG, What3Words fake.dices.guidebook. The walk is through some of the National Forest taking in Grange Wood and Battram Wood followed by a circular walk around the Nailstone colliery site (now a nature reserve but with an Aldi warehouse in the middle of it!). The return is through the wood downhill to return to Ibstock passing near the site of the Ibstock colliery. The walking is fairly flat, with no stiles but some inclines. Helen says it will no doubt be muddy! Neither The Ram Inn, or anywhere else in Ibstock Helen is told, does food so no lunch is being arranged (but suggestions of where to go after a walk often arise on the day). SK408102 |
| 23 Jan | Martin will lead a walk along the northern edge of Loughborough taking us along the Blackbrook and through the Stonebow Washlands. Then skirting Booth Wood and following the former Charnwood Forest Railway to the canal and then on to Dishley Pool before again following the Blackbrook. This walk will mainly be along surfaced paths and tracks (but, no doubt at this time of year, some mud will be encountered!). Martin has yet to decide on a pub and meeting point so details of these will be in the next update. SK |
