10:30 h - 16:00 h - Where:
- The Hub - Sleaford
An easy 12 mile walk starting from The Hub in the centre of Sleaford. This route will be familiar to some of the longer standing members of the group, we last walked this route in April 2004. This walk will be a circular route, heading north to Ruskington then turning south to Haverholme Lock and Priory. From here we shall pick up the River Slea and follow this back to Sleaford, past the many landmarks that once made up the Sleaford Navigation. After the walk, we shall probably end up in the Packhorse Inn for refreshments, so bring along some money if you fancy a drink and bite to eat.
