Thursday 17th April . With Marta.
A six mile walk on a fine sunny morning, with very little wind. The route was there and back from Gretton to Rockingham along the Jurassic Way footpath.
Our route out was across the field to the top of West Hill, and down the steep slope to the path alongside the railway.

It’s a lovely route now that it is dry, but one huge field halfway along is always a drag, and at the moment it’s planted with rape, not my favourite crop to walk through.
Rockingham village was looking splendid in its late spring clothing, though spoiled a little by the heavy traffic on the main road.
The Barn Tearoom provided us with good coffee and a tea cake each to sustain us for the return leg.
We varied the route back, by heading along the bridleway, which takes us into Gretton more gradually than the path directly up West Hill.
