Donington-On-Bain To Biscathorpe Circular,Thursday 19th August 2021.

Today,after getting some sleep after my nightshift,Tracey and myself had planned to drive over to Donnington-on-Bain in the sleepy Lincolnshire Wolds and complete a circular walk we attempted last year,but could not,due to part of the pathway being closed due to Covid19 restrictions.

After arriving at this lovely little village,we got our boots on and waterproof packed and off we went.

To start with,the weather was a bit drizzly,but it soon warmed up and the weather broke into a pleasant day.

This walk takes in some lovely Wolds scenery and includes the famous Belmont TV mast,Biscathorpe Lake,the ridge and furrow remains of the medieval village of Biscathorpe,the lovely gothic style St.Helen's Church at Biscathorpe and of course the lovely little River Bain.

Another feature as you head back into Donington-on-Bain,is the remains of the old RAF radar station at Stenigot which was part of our Chain Home early-warning network in the second world war.

This really is a pleasant walk and the following are my favourite photos from our visit here.
