  1. Excellent walk. We just did a circular walk from West Leake to Gotham via the West Leake and Gotham Hills - perfectly formed hill-lets between the Trent and Soar Valleys. Late November and a few days after the deluge of of 22/11/16, and all paths firm and reasonably dry - a testament to the seam of gypsum running underneath maybe.
