  • New Peak District Boundary Walk
    THE NEWSLETTER OF THE SHEFFIELD GROUP OF THE RAMBLERS MAY 2017! The Sheffield Rambler Spirit of Kinder Day, April 22nd at Edale. Vanessa Griffiths New Chief Executive Stuart Maconie President of the Ramblers Anyone who was there that day, and there were many of us, can certainly feel that we have passionate and influential people looking after our interests in walking around Kinder and many other places in the UK. The speakers were: Dame Helen Ghosh, Director General of the National Trust; Stephen Trotter, Director of the Wildlife Trusts; Jon Stewart, General Manager of the National Trust in the Peak District, and Vanessa Griffiths, the new Chief Ex- ecutive of the Ramblers. Vanessa also took the opportunity to introduce Stuart Maconie as the New President of the Ramblers. Stuart is a well known writer and broadcaster and a pas- sionate advocate of walking and walkers’ rights. A new book Clarion Call was launched at the event, quite a fitting time and place, the 85th anniversary of the Kinder Trespass and in the shadow of Kinder Scout. The "master of ceremonies" was Rony Robinson of Radio Sheffield and the event was closed with songs and a mini-play by Sally Goldsmith, local singer and songwriter. Very many people commented it was an inspirational event. Not only can we, the participants, be inspired by such speakers but, in turn, the speakers can them- selves be inspired by such a large and responsive audience. In these uncertain times it is good to know that there is wide interest and support for walking. Terry Howard ! PAGE 1 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE SHEFFIELD GROUP OF THE RAMBLERS MAY 2017! "Clarion Call" This book had two launches, one by the Lord Mayor of Sheffield and the other at Edale.
