Picnic on the Bridge is being organised by the Newark & Retford volunteer groups to celebrate the completion of the Lottery and Sustrans funded project to decorate a minimum of 50 panels on Fledborough Viaduct. The panels have been painted by local people of all ages under the supervision of Newark artist James Mayle.
You can enjoy a walk or cycle along part of the Dukeries Trail with great views across the Trent Valley and view the panels as you cross the viaduct. There will be food and drink stalls (see foot of poster) including a bike powered smoothie maker. There will also be a chance to meet the people who did the paintings.
Some photos of the most recent painting sessions can be viewed here.
If you've not yet been there you can access the Viaduct via the Dukeries Trail (NCN 647) with the nearest access points being between North and South Clifton (just over half a mile) or between Normanton and Ragnall (just over a mile). Parking is limited (more about this nearer the time at http://sustransnewarkbikes.wordpress.com/) so we'd encourage you to walk or cycle a bit further than the minimum!
Useful cycling maps of the Dukeries Trail and surrounding area can be found at the following links:
The Dukeries Trail map, Lincoln and surrounding area map, Newark and Sherwood map.
We look forward to meeting you on the viaduct on a warm and sunny Saturday 13 July.
If your able to give some time to help out on the day, be it on the Sustrans information stand, smoothie maker, etc then please do get in touch with me. All hands welcome.
