Many thanks and a very happy birthday to Dave B for treating us all to 40th b’day beer in the George in Castleton by way of a restorative subsequent to trailing Dave Holmes and Andy Moore on the longest and possibly fastest Wart of the season via Hollins Cross, Ringing Read more
Hi Warts, Just a note about Wednesdays consultation meeting;for most Warts the outing on a Wednesday is pure magic, a real sense of getting away from work/the city and great camaraderie – whatever the weather. The Alport Castle outing says all there needs to be said. However over the years Read more
Having missed the Margery Hill start – dimwit – I took the opportunity to pick up Neil and Pete’s lunch box clues, which in turn afforded the opportunity to reacquaint myself with a couple of the more idiosyncratic sections of the Landmarks route. You’ll all no doubt be delighted to Read more
