Description
This is a modification of BINNEW 1 that retains most of the original route but removes the potentially dangerous A46 crossing. I have also made a minor change at the Bingham end to avoid the steps on the bridge at the railway station by using the level crossing to cross the railway at the east end of the park. This also makes it easier to navigate for those not familiar with the layout of the station.
Most of this route is on field paths, and these are unsurfaced, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs, buggies and bikes. Note that there are a couple of shorter alternatives possible between Thorpe and the A46 bridge, but I have also chosen to avoid the direct path, which is little used and overgrown, and a flight of steps below the bridge which ends the wrong side of a crash barrier - staying on the quiet road is longer but easier
