Wednesday 15th February – Rivelin Landmarks. I’m not certain that Whyming Brook Knoll is a landmark, but it has to be found and visited nevertheless.
Saturday 18th February – Winter Olympics. Over the summer course but in the reverse direction. Unmissable!
Sunday 19th February – New Chew. Pre-entry only and it’s full with 9 brown vests in the start list.
