Description
The first reviewer of RETRAM 1 found its route from Retford to Grove difficult, so this route avoids that problem area, and also passes through South Leverton, where there is a pub (check opening hours if you plan to use it). The middle part of the route is as per RETRAM 1. I walked the route yesterday and this middle section between Grove and South Leverton was the toughest part (mostly due to lack of use rather than deliberate obstruction). Grove Lane is mostly easy to follow but the right of way has been diverted slightly through the wood to keep it further away from the house - the GPX file attempts to show this but I don't have a source for the exact line of the path. I was originally going to use the more direct path north out of Rampton, but it is very hard to spot on the ground
