29 May 2022 (edited 16 Nov 2022)This is a long and fairly challenging route. The canal and road parts are easy, but the path between Hickling and Nether Broughton has a lot of stiles, many of which are surrounded by nettles and could cause problems for older walkers and those wearing shorts or skirts. There was also one field where finding a route through dense crops was a little awkward. The route into Melton also has a few awkward high stiles requiring long legs, and the hill between Nether Broughton and Wartnaby is quite steep and overgrown in places. The route out of Cotgrave into the wood cannot be followed exactly because the rights of way on the OS map do not match the footpaths on the ground.
Overall, For fit walkers the route is quite enjoyable.
On reflection, I have decided that the problems with this route are not sufficient to flag it, because it is not at all obvious how to find a better one that does not have similar issues.
