We are the Rushcliffe Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the inaugural challenge walk which was led by the late Dennis Fox in 2000 as part of East Leake village's Millennium Festival. As much as the original 17.75 miles route is used but as there are diversions in place the walk is now slightly longer at 18.7 miles. In essence this is the same route as per when the group last did this walk in 2021.
The route's outline is: Rempstone; Hoton Hills, Stanford-on-Soar; Trig Pillar 80m (A6006); West Leake church (lunch); Fox Hill; Cuckoo Bush; Gotham (pub visit); The Logan Trial; Spring Wood and East Leake.
If you would like to join this walk please contact the Leader using the email link. The Leader is Chris Sweetman.
Please bring a packed lunch with plenty of liquid for the walk's duration which is expected to be around eight hours. Overall the walk can be described as mildly undulating. There are a few steep ascents and places where the route is flat.
Gotham is around two-thirds of the way on the route and there is a shop in this village to replenish stores if needed and we will stop at The Sun Inn for a refreshment break.
Walk rated as strenuous due to distance covered but overall pace will be moderate.
Leader has led the previous time when the group completed this challenge walk in 2021 and they completed the inaugural walk back in 2000.
