After crossing the road, we go through South Wood to Ley farm - part of this could be muddy if there has been much rain and there are also a few easy stiles. We then go into Calke Park and back to Ticknall About 6.5 miles, almost all flat. Lunch will either be at the Tollgate brewery or at the Staff of Life in Ticknall. SK353251 |

Thursday U3A 6-milers - next 2 walks
| 13 Nov | Martin Speight. This walk will be as much of a re-run as I can recall (with slight variations to include a pub start) of the first walk I led as group leader. This was back in April 2021 when we were able to do group walks again after Covid restrictions! The walk will start at The Old Bulls Head on the junction of Forest Road and Main Street in Woodhouse Eaves. Post Code LE12 8RZ, What3Words seriously.warns.wobbling A lunch reservation has been made and the pub will be open before the walk starts. From the Old Bulls Head the walk will go through the village before heading to Rushey Fields Farm and Swithland. It will then make for Kinchley Lane and Woodhouse before returning to the pub. The route is mainly on field paths and tracks with road sections along pavements. After our last outing there are many fewer stiles on this walk and the paths should be reasonable (some however are grassy and the mud on others will depend on the weather in the days before the walk).
