The Manchester Ramblers. We are still there you know. Rambling at least every Sunday (by Coach) and Wednesday (public transport). Older and fewer than we were. Every age and level of fitness catered for. this Sunday Edale, followed by Todmorden, Church Stretton, Holmfirth, Sedburgh. Rambling to the end of time.

Brings back lovely memories of the 1960s folk revival. Great days.

It still makes me want to revisit Kinder. For the record the Mass Trespass was organised by the Manchester Sports Federation, an organisation founded by the Manchester and Salford Area of the Communist Party. Ewan MacColl was its Press Secretary and a member of the CPGB. The Rambler's Association was founded three years after the Mass Trespass and to a certain extent because of it.

Went to see the Spinners at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester with Sue Jesson from Macclesfield. Remember Mick from Derby?

I've got MacColl's 83 version of the song but it doesn't have that verse about peat bogs. Wonder if it was a Spinners interpolation...
