A chilly start today and the rain had cleared as we set off from Mansfield Woodhouse train station and headed into Oxclose Woods following good paths over to Shirebrook and on into Pleasley Woods to bring us to the historic Pleasley Vale Mills where we took our lunch break.

Thankfully the rain of the past few days stopped and we had a dry but dull day for today's walk. The rain ensured there was mud and some slippery patches as we started from Eakring and headed towards Maplebeck where we turned towards Kersal and onto Kneesal where we took our lunch break. From here it was an easy route back to our start point and into the Daffodil Tea Rooms for after walks refreshments and chat.
Thanks to Martyn for leading the way today.
