October Short Ramble
From The New Inn, head east along Canada Lane. Go through farm yard and then uphill. Follow a bridleway and then onto Snitterfield Lane. Then follow a long track past Blacon Farm, leading to the west side of Norton Lindsey. We then go through Gannaway Wood, eventually emerging by the Cricket Ground and the back to the New Inn.
If the weather conditions are muddy, we can omit the last part.
Good panoramic views. -

November Short Ramble
A relatively easy walk – with a tempting reward at the end!
Starting from Bishampton we follow part of the Queen Elizabeth walk. A short climb along a quiet road takes us into woodland for a bit of an adventure.
After a short break, we venture across the Vale Golf Club – watch out for mishit golf balls! If we are lucky, there may be reindeer at the shop at the club entrance.
Open fields and woodland lead us back to Bishampton. The walk ends with a two mile loop out of the village, across more farmland and then back to our starting point – and lunch for those who want it.
