The River Trent

The River Trent is one of the subjects on which Geoffrey Kingscott gives illustrated talks. He and his colleagues (wife Judy, younger son Laurence, and brother-in-law Roger, plus Laurence's dog Bess, have set out to walk the length of the river (as closely as is legally possible) from its source on Biddulph Moor to its mouth at Trent Falls. These walks take place on Thursdays. It is hoped that a future book will result.
