Storm Ahead


So hopefully the BBC hasn't made a blooper this time and the UK is a bit more prepared for the weather ahead.
As always with this type of weather trees take the full force and with the NCN and it's links in our area surrounded by quite a few it could be that some large branches or even trees may come down that may partially or completely block a route.
If you go out later during the week ahead whilst out checking the NCN and happen to come across any obstructions then please do get in touch, obviously it will depend on who finally deals with it because of location but hopefully we can keep the NCN moving in Grantham.
Keep safe.

Discovery Day Update

Firstly many thanks for getting back to me with regards your attendance on Sunday 13 October which will see us in much presence. If you have from last year or other past events just a reminder that the red Sustrans tee shirt needs to be worn which will be okay to wear under a body warmer or part open jacket. (Can't see it being blistering hot, but you never know). For those who have got back to me with a size of a needed tee these will be coming next week and I shall deliver to you beforehand.

All is on track now for our stand, I have a bundle load of local free maps covering Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire along with lots of information on Sustrans and the NCN. We have also been given the go ahead to have a donation collection box on our stand as it has been know for people to sometimes give a small donation when taking information, the box will also be used for the safe keeping of the sales of bicycle bells and puncture repair kits which always go down well. Sustrans will be sending next week materials such as table cloth, pop up banners, tees, etc.

The main site will be the same as previous years at the area to the rear of the Rutland Arms (Dirty Duck) at Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir, it is in the old British Waterways Canal depot yard. We shall be in the big white marquee in this area.

For a full list of what's happening on the day at the event visit here, lots going on so don't forget to give yourself time to look around before or after you come.
