Nottingham 30s- 40s Active Outdoor Community

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 (there will be)

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 a 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.

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

This is considered a moderate walk and will need a level of fitness. 6.3 miles with 1456ft elevation.

Located at the very edge of the Peak District National Park is Macclesfield Forest, a fantastic area for a walk between the tall conifer trees and along its serene reservoirs. This trail does just that as it takes you to explore the beautiful woodland, surrounding hills, four reservoirs, and ends with a climb up the iconic Tegg’s Nose, which offers spectacular views.

arrive at 9.30 to leave at 10. after, we will head to a pub.
