Mansfield and Sherwood Ramblers is the thriving local Ramblers Group for Mansfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield and the surrounding areas. We organise walks of varying distance and difficulty, mostly on Sundays but often on weekdays and sometimes in the evening, led by a variety of trained leaders each with their own style and personality who have an extensive knowledge of the area, and often include visiting some unusual and surprising places. We also organise holidays and weekends away, open to friends and family too, which include walking some of the countries well known long-distance paths.

Melrose day 2 and we visited Holy Island and Berwick-upon-Tweed. On the journey to Holy Island we passed through Coldstream and over the bridge that is the border between England and Scotland. Lucky with the weather for most of the day. 🙂

What a start to our holiday in Melrose. Walking a section of the St Cuthbert's Way we had a long walk starting from Mertoun Bridge to follow the route back to our hotel and a shorter walk starting from Bowden also returning to our hotel. Both walks had to cross the Eildon Hills which took some effort but the views were worth it. Twenty nine walkers in total on both of the walks. Thanks to Martyn and Brian for leading today.

I firmly believe that everyone deserves to live within walking distance of either beauty or convenience, if not both.

I stroll along serenely, with my eyes, my shoes, my rage, forgetting everything.

It was ups and downs on today's walk. Starting from Staunton Harold reservoir we walked along the banks of the reservoir before rising towards, Calke Park nature reserve to then descend to Mere Pond. Ascending again into Calke Park to then descend towards Dimminsdale to then rise to the edge of Spring Wood. Over fields we descended into Breedon on the Hill, which isn't actually on a hill. Taking our lunch break on the village green we then ascended the steep hill to the church which sits atop the hill. Descending again quite quickly into Melbourne Parks passing Melbourne Hall before our last ascent back to the reservoir.
Thanks for today's walk, Brian.

Getting things done by working together!

The Lord Sheriff approached Edwinstowe Parish Council on behalf of Men in Sheds Blidworth to renovate and restore this now dilapidated interactive information board in Mansfield Road car park Edwinstowe at no cost to the Village. The work is being done for FREE by the Men in Sheds.

There were originally 12 of these boards around the county installed as part of a project by Notts Tourism Consortium (now defunct). There are just three left - the one from Fountaindale at Blidworth has been restored and will soon be returning to its former location, this one at Edwinstowe, and the third King’s Clipstone.

Many thanks to Edwinstowe Parish Council and Blidworth Men in Sheds and we look forward to seeing it when work is complete!

Today's walk took us into Mansfield Woodhouse town centre to see some of the historic buildings in the town including Clarkson Hall, the Village Cross, the Dial House and the Manor House (aka Woodhouse Castle. After the short tour we headed towards Pleasley Vale pausing for lunch in the shadows of the former mills. After lunch we were followed for a short while by some of the Mansfield Town football squad as we returned to Mansfield Woodhouse.
Thanks to Brian for today's walk.

The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best.

Starting from the Cote Green car park on the Trans Pennine Trail we did a circuit around Wortley before heading along the Barnsley Boundary Walk below the Hunshelf Bank. After climbing the bank we headed cross country to Thurgoland to join the Trans Pennine Trail to return to the start point.
Thanks to Julie for leading today.

Well done!
