I travelled to Hawks Nest, the first location in north Nottinghamshire, and needed to get off at a different stop because the Worksop bus goes a different route. This worked out for the best though because I was able to visit a small area of Access Land next to the River Ryton called Gibbet Hill. It was a lovely spot to sit in the sun and eat my sandwiches.
The area of Access Land continues at the other side of the Great North Road with better access to the river. There's a bug hotel and some other stuff in this area.
As I approached Scrooby there were some free apples for the taking and so I took one, I have to say it was one of the sweetest apples I've ever tasted.
I walked through the village and then headed south along the Great North Road until I reached a track that goes towards Serlby Golf Course. I then turned left at one of the entrances and continued to the road which goes to Blyth. Along this stretch I met a woman whose two dogs ran into a field to dig up some sugarbeet to eat - I've never seen that before.
Blyth is a pretty village; I would have liked to stay longer to take more photographs but the bus back to Doncaster was due in a few minutes, and then it would be two hours for the next one.
