Colsterworth, the Withams and Gunby
The May 2026 edition of Country Walking published the route, listing it as 8.5 miles. The big plus of this walk is the start from, and finish at, the National Trust's Woolsthorpe Manor. The going was difficult in places as fields were freshly tilled and sown. These cross field paths…

A short walk organised by the Lincoln group of the Ramblers Association. The route passes through Dunston. The church has the tomb of Viscount Goderich, the third shortest serving Prime Minister. At 144 days it is still three times longer than Liz Truss!

Gibralter Point
A bright day and an easy walk on the near empty beach. With a low tide much of the Norfolk side was visible. Not a fast walk with many stops to watch the birds and ships in The Wash

Winter Walk in Hartsholme Park
The Cool_Dudes wrapped up against the cold to take a walk in the park. The park's trees gave shelter from the east wind. This made for a calming walk in the grey January light. At the far end of the Swanholme reserve birdsong covered the distant urban noise of Tritton…
