Nottingham 30s- 40s Active Outdoor Community

This is considered a moderate walk- this will need a level of fitness to do as the first 3 miles is just up. 8.2 miles with an elevation of 1,761 ft

On 3rd November 1948, a Boeing B-29 Superfortress (American bomber) called Overexposed crashed into the Peak District moorlands, near Higher Shelf Stones on Bleaklow. Part of the 16th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron, used for military photography, the plane crashed due to a fatal navigation error in poor visibility. All thirteen crew members lost their lives. Much of the wreckage remains on the moors as a memorial and an official plaque has been erected.

After we will go to the Bull pub for a drink.

Meet at the carpark opposit the Wheatsheaf. Please arrive at 9.30 to leave at 10

The carpark is small, but there is plenty of parking around the area. There is a cafe where you can go to the toilet before, but please ensure you arrive in good time. Wild wees en route

Any questions - feel free to drop me a message. See you there

Please note: walks can be quite boggy (especially this time of year).Plese bring suitable footwear and clothing
We really encourage carpooling so that we can keep car numbers down both for the environment and the carparks. It's also a great way to get to know some people.

Please make sure to bring:
• Sturdy, waterproof walking boots. It can get very muddy and slippy on these walks
•Waterproof clothing, it is England after all
•Warm/cold weather layers. Prepare for all weather
•Enough water for the duration of the walk
•Lunch and snacks as needed. There won't often be places to buy things en route

Etiquette - If you can no longer attend the event, please remember to cancel yours and / or your guests rsvp as we often have people on the waiting list and it means we won't wait around for you either

An oppurtunity for us all to get to together, to get to know each other more, or to pick up on conversations from before.

If you are new to the group and would like to learn more about the group, this is your chance to come along and ask any questions you may have. This is also a great oppurtunity to meet other potential and existing members.

Night out at The Garage Chilwell. It's a great venue- the old bus depot, they will have street food and live music until 10. Then we will head to some bars in the local area. Easy to get to, as on the tram and bus line, but also has a huge carpark if you want to drive.

Look forward to seeing you all there for a fun night

"Six Street Food in kitchens, two pop-up bars with cocktails and craft beers, live music and one massive party atmosphere. The Street Food Smoke Up is one of the best monthly food festivals in the East Midlands, where you can enjoy world Street Food in Nottingham within the walls of The Garage, home to what was Western Europe’s largest independent bus operator.

Our rustic bar stocks artfully crafted local ales and top of the range craft beer and lagers, both local and from internationally recognised breweries.

We also team up with specialist artisan gin and cocktail bars, so no matter what your taste, you’ll be able to find the perfect drink to accompany your night.

With great live music from local bands and artists, the Smoke Up always has an unparalleled atmosphere. From latin-infused trios to 21 piece big bands, each month can bring an entirely different sound. The consistant high quality is what is giving the Smoke Up, and The Garage itself, it’s growing reputation as a great live music venue.

Bringing together the flavours of world street food in Nottingham."

Now that spring is starting to near, I will be adding a variation of things, not just walks. So, for the first one, we will be cycling around Rutland Water. It is a 23 mile cycle, going theough villages and countryside! There may even be a pub stop en route.

This will require a level of fitness and therefore is for you to decide if this is for you. It is mostly flat with some up hills in places.

If people have bikes, then bring your own. For those that don't, you can hire them here https://www.specialized.com/gb/en/store-finder/rutland-water-cycling-whitwell/8297778

Bike hire is £40 for a manual for the full day. If you are hiring, I would advise booking these early as there is limited availability and they do get booked up. DO NOT wait until the day to hire on site, they are very likely to not have availability- I've don't this before 🤦🏽‍♀️

Please meet at 9.30 to leave for 9.45. If you are hiring bike, please make sure you arrive before 9.30 to collect them, as it gets very busy and we don't want to wait around.

It WILL be busy on paths with other cyclists and walkers, so please be careful when cycling as we will be a bigger group.

We will stop for lunch and head to the pub after The Wheatsheaf, 5 King Edward's Way, Edith Weston, Oakham LE15 8EZ which is a 10 min drive away.
