- Again
a cloudy start with some rain by mid morning which was heavy
enough requiring the use of my overtrousers. It eventually stopped
early afternoon and after a short lunch I could put them back
in my rucksack. Later on it brightened up sufficiently to take
off my waterproof coat. Sunshine to end the day (at last!).

-
- After
being dropped off at Bulwell tram station I crossed the Robin
Hood railway line and the new tram track into Bestwood Village
-
- Quite
a pleasant surprise as I walked round Mill Lakes at Bestwood
-
- The
remains of Bestwood Colliery
-
- This
is Alexandra Lodge in the middle of Bestwood Country Park. The
path turning left just in front of the building
-
- From
Alexandra Lodge this was the footpath through the trees. It wasn't
long after this that the rain set in.
-
- Looking
back down hill in the direction of Papplewick I decided to stop
here for my lunch. The rain clearing away alowing me to remove
some of my waterproof clothing.
-
- Entering
the woods off Longdale Lane as the clouds move away and the sun
makes a welcome appearance.
-
- Long
shadows toward the end of the day. The forest track heading towards
Blidworth Bottoms
