Monday 9th November
As it was another lovely day we thought we should take advantage so drove to Ruddington, (Nottinghamshire) for a walk.
We parked in the Country Park and after making use of the compost toilets - very clean and much nicer than normal public loos, we walked through the park and onto the public footpath running around the outskirts. The path passed a dog kennels - The Premier Hotel for Pets! The noise of barking dogs was awful and we could hear them for quite a distance. We walked beside the track of the Great Central Railway; There were no trains running today but the path was flat and dry and we had good views across to Gotham hills. We followed the path over Fairham brook, which was in a surprisingly steep gully, and then passed around a bridge. We found a cache here and sat on some concrete blocks to enjoy our lunch in the sun.
We continued beside the railway for a bit further and then walked under the railway and started to walk across Bunny Moor where we crossed a bridge over a ditch and found another cache.
We followed the footpath to Bunny and then footpaths towards Bradmore and finally back to the Country Park. It had been a lovely days walk, the sunshine and autumn leaves giving everything a golden glow. We had walked about 10km and found 3 caches.
