National Cycle Network route 647 is a newly opened mostly traffic free route that will connect NCR 64 west of Lincoln towards the Clumber Park & Sherwood area. An instrumental section of the route is the Fledborough viaduct that crosses the River Trent which till recently was out of bounds, Nottinghamshire County Council who own the viaduct have put in place various construction on the site which now means it can be re-opened.
To celebrate this opening of the viaduct and NCR 647 the Newark Sustrans group will be holding a picnic on the bridge event on the viaduct on Saturday 5th June from 12:00 p.m.- 02:00 p.m. The event is open to all cyclists and walkers and will bring together people from Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
A detailed map of the location can be found here, and a map showing directions to the event from Newark can be found here. You may also be interested in join 1 of 2 led rides from Newark Castle station up to the event, both leaving at 10:30 a.m. There is no official car parking areas nearby but space I am sure could be found in the nearby access roads or villages.
A publicity poster giving further details can be found here, do pass on to others you think maybe of interest.
Don't forget your picnic.
