Report - Countryfile Ramble for BBC Children in Need (and cycle rides)
Sunday 6th October 2019
 
After over a week of rain, muddy fields, and waterlogged paths, the rain stopped and the clouds opened enough to reveal blue sky in time for the Countryfile Ramble, amended to two shorter rambles; to East Carlton and Eye Brook Reservoir. A very enjoyable, social time was had and over £100 raised for Children in Need, by our 23 participants and helpers. Thank you All.
