Announcements

This Welcome Page appears to have become more of a blog for Chesterfield, its environs and members 'off piste' events! Perhaps this is because we are not walking at present due to floods, holidays and stage scenery painting. Normal service will be resumed - eventually!

Faartals in flood

I bet there are many people in Chesterfield who did not even know we had two 'rivers' flowing through it.  Yesterday they made their mark and the pictures tell it all.  Not as bad as Sheffield, but still a disaster for those affected.
