Gayton Le Wold - Day Walk
9 people attending
6 places left
This fine Lincolnshire walk takes us through the wonderfully named hamlet of Gayton le Wold, from there we climb slightly before descending into the Bain valley, passing through the site of a deserted medieval village. The next stretch is a beautiful and relaxing stroll beside the River Bain, passing a picturesque mill just before reaching Donnington on Bain, a most attractive village sheltering below the wolds.
The final stretch begins with an easy climb onto a broad ridge and continues along the ridge, from which there are superb views over the Bain valley.
IMPORTANT! - Participation Statement
You MUST complete a Participation Statement, in addition to booking your event space before attending an OutdoorLads event. You only need to complete this Participation Statement once, not for each event you attend.
What to bring
I always prefer comfortable hiking boots, but you might get away with a pair of good trainers on this walk. The terrain can be muddy along this route, so at least wear footwear that provides enough grip.
Of course, dress for the weather, layers is better (fleece and separate waterproof overcoat) and will allow you to more easily regulate your temperature. If we get lucky with the weather please ensure you pack your sunglasses and sunscreen, it might also be the perfect opportunity to show us your legs.
Food & drink
Bring a packed lunch, snacks for along the way and plenty of water or other fluids to drink. A hot drink is recommended!
