Doncaster Ramblers enjoy Sprotbrough ramble

Four resilient ramblers embarked on a nine-mile walk starting at the Ivanhoe Pub on Sprotbrough Road, on a cold and cloudy day. Fortunately, the forecasted light rain largely held off.

Whether it's four or forty Donny Ramblers still give it a go!

The group crossed fields reaching Marr (a small village noted in the Domesday Book) pausing there for coffee. 

The walk continued through Melton Wood, a local country park before reaching High Melton, a village dating back to the Norman era. The next stop was Cadeby, where the group took advantage of a bus shelter for lunch. 

Heading back toward Sprotbrough, passing the top of Sprotbrough Flash, a nature reserve managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.
