Peak District Mines Historical Society Ltd
Peak District Mines Historical Society Ltd. Newsletter No. 142 April 2012 The Observations and Discoveries; Their Tenth Birthday! In this Newsletter we depart from what has become tradition and do not have a normal issue of Peak District Mines Observations and Discoveries, but instead have an index of the first forty sets of notes; ten years on since the first, this seems a perfect time to do this. The onerous task of compiling this index has fallen to Adam Russell, who very kindly volunteered to do this without prompting from us. We are very grateful. When we started I don’t think we ever envisaged there would be so many notes and with failing memory there is an increasing need to have an index to help easily find the various jottings when we need to refer back to something. We also take this opportunity to thank the many people who have contributed notes over the years – these have enlivened the Observations and Discoveries no end. This said, we always need more – if you have found something new or interesting, explored a shaft people don’t often go down or entered a mine where there is no readily available description of what is there, please consider writing a short note. There are literally hundreds of mines in the Peak where we have no idea what lies below ground – most were presumably explored in the 60s or 70s but often nothing was written down, and a new generation is now having to reinvent the wheel. We were gratified to learn, from the Reader Survey on the content of the newsletter that Steve undertook last year, just how much you, the readers, appreciated these notes.

Freshwalks Private Corporate Events
FRESHWALKS PRIVATE CORPORATE EVENTS • Employee engagement • Team building • Client hospitality • Creative and strategy days “ Go to a footie match, half the people are into the football, the other half are wondering why they are there. Go to a dinner, you get to talk to two people until you have bored them to death and they wander off to sit with their buddies. Go ‘freshwalking’ and you have a common purpose. You get each other up that hill and across that bog and down the other side. On the way, you talk for a while, drift off and find yourself in another conversation or even continue a conversation that you started a couple of months ago.” 02 | Freshwalks Private INTRODUCTION Glorious scenery Freshwalks Private events are a blend of full-blooded exercise, and back to nature hiking across glorious countryside and hills, deep conversations and some decent pub food after too.
