4 walks around Lenton with Primary Arts and me

On Saturday coming (25th May) I am leading a walk around Lenton. Here is a copy of the map I have created and a list of locations. There will be a leaflet on the day. The walk starts from Lenton Lodge on the Derby Road (some of you may know it as the Wollaton Park Gatehouse) at 2.15pm and will last for about 90 minutes.

The focus of the walk will be housing and for health reasons this will also be the last walk I lead (see previous blog post dated 3 May 2019).

Click on the maps and text boxes to enlarge.



The leaflet has seven pages plus a cover by Primary (which I have yet to see). The seven pages have been created by me.










Beeston Transport Map update

I have updated my Beeston Transport Spider Map to take account of the L11 being withdrawn between Bulwell and Arnold (the 23 June has been mentioned but has to be confirmed). I have also added Bramcote's sunken church tower and Wollaton Dovecote to the heritage locations marked on the map. Click on the map to enlarge.

Wigman Road Top apologies and where you can find the 35 History Bus Bluebell leaflet

The weather in Nottingham over the last few days has taken a turn for the worse with the result that I have picked up a lung infection, which means I will not be at Wigman Road Top tomorrow (Saturday) as promised. With luck the local churches and the Mulberry Tree CafĂ© in Strelley Hall's old stable block will have copies of the leaflet available whilst stocks last (200 have been printed). I will try to get the leaflets to them ASAP but it will not be for a few days. 

If you are reading this then you will be able to see the leaflet. Its design should make it easy to read on a smartphone.

I have a photo 'essay' of the walks to post but it will have to wait until I have the energy. Right now I'm very tired.

I will be 75 in the next few days and have had a condition known as Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) since I was 71. There are bad times and the weather, along with crowds, can make it worst and now is one of those occasions.

From now on I will work with other people and groups when a opportunity occurs but I have decided I can no longer do things  on my own.

The good news is that this should mean more time for this blog. For a week or so, whilst I recover, please bear with me.
