There are four buses an hour going to Worksop but they travel along two different routes and I have to walk in opposite directions to get to the relevant bus stop...so I always have to make a decision. Today I chose to travel via Tickhill.
I started the walk by walking westward along the canal tow path leaving Worksop.
I could see Shireoaks church in the distance.
I continued along the canal for about five miles until I reached a footpath which led northwards towards South Anston.
At the beginning of the footpath I had to cross over the railway line; it's not a very busy route though.
The last time I was South Anston church I couldn't go inside because of a wedding - I couldn't go inside today either because the door was locked.
I headed back east, walking through Anston Stone Woods. There was a short distance walking alongside the busy A57 road and then I entered some more woodland until I reached a bridleway which skirts Woodsetts to the south.
There are some nice houses here.
There's also a top secret missile launching facility, code name 'Nirvava' which isn't very well camouflaged...and doesn't seem to be guarded at all.
The route continued as a footpath at the edge of the golf course and then across the fields until I reached the country road that heads towards the Worksop to Doncaster trunk road.
I took the first path across the fields to South Carlton.
It was then a short walk down the lane to the main road where I caught the bus; perfect timing, only a few seconds to wait.
