Ramblers happy with a wrong forecast


CONTRARY to the weath­ erman's prediction, the Clitheroe Ramblers' Associ­ ation had a dry walk in Der­ byshire on Sunday, the upper Derwent Valley and the fells to the east being the


venue. The 14-mile walk started


from the Derwent Dam, of Dambusters fame, up to Derwent Edge, past many named rock formations - the Coach and Horses, Salt Cellar and Cakes of Bread, to Pack Tour for lunch, then to Lost Lad with its classifi­ cation finder.-
