Walk the Rowthorne Trail
Seventeen members, partners and friends turned up at this month’s extra social event.
We started from the "Nags Head" at Pleasley to walk along Rowthorne Trail through Rowthorne village and return over the pit tip - now Pleasley nature reserve and by the Pleasley Colliery that is under refurbishment and to open as a mining museum.
The weather was very kind to us this year, the two previous years being rather wet, but on this occasion a warm, sunny, clear evening provided views of Hardwick Hall, Crich in Derbyshire, and the power stations at Staythorpe and Markham near Tuxford.
Everyone enjoyed the evening but a few were a little weary after the 2 hour walk of about 4 1/2 miles. Some of us also enjoyed a refreshing drink at the pub to end the evening!
