Sunday 19th July, 2026: Winster
Walk Leader: Imelda Here are further details of this month’s walk. The start location for the walk is the Winster South car park opposite the Miners Standard pub, Winster, just off the B5056. The post code for the pub is DE4 2DR. The what3words reference for the car park is: https://w3w.co/armrests.dressy.divisions From there we'll walk up the Limestone Way in the direction of Moor Lane, Green Lane and Grangemill. The longer version (7.5 miles) then goes to Aldwark and returns in a northerly direction to Winster. There is a shorter version of the walk (6 miles) from this area; if it's a very hot day, we may cut it short for everyone. We look forward to seeing you on the day. Notts HD ~~~~~~~~~~~ Camping Weekend 15-16 August, 2026: Coleorton Hi everyone, we are giving notice of August's walk well in advance as it is a camping weekend, so we wanted to give you notice to book up, well in advance. If you just wish to walk: The hike (route tbc) on Sunday 16th August will start from Julie and Amanda’s field: LE67 8PJ. There is plenty of parking in the field, arrive in time for usual 10:30 start, toilet available. After the walk there will be tea/coffee available and hopefully a selection of cakes! However, if you want to join us the previous evening for a social under the stars, read on….. Arrive anytime from 3pm on Saturday 15th to set up your tent, park your camper van etc. If there are enough people in the afternoon, we’ll have a game of rounders/football/cricket for the energetic amongst us, feel free to bring any outdoor games or just your knitting! In the evening we’ll have a few drinks and have a natter round the campfire, weather permitting! It will be very relaxed with no fixed timetable. Please come self-sufficient in terms of food and drink for Sat evening, Sunday breakfast and your lunch for the hike. There is a cold water tap outside for filling up water bottles etc. We will put a load of jacket potatoes in the oven, if anyone wants to bring a salad or a desert to add to a communal table, feel free but no obligation. There will be a hot water urn plugged in to make tea/coffee whenever you want. If a few people can bring a cake for us to all share after the hike with a cuppa, that would be great. We will have a porta-loo toilet set up in the stable (for light use) and the downstairs toilet in the house is available for anything else! The sink in the downstairs toilet is available for cleaning teeth etc. It would be good if we could get an idea of numbers of people intending to camp, and how many to expect in addition on Sunday for the hike. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you are joining for the camping, and we will send you further details. Notts HD New to Nottingham HD?
