 (*1- Three of party - photographer incl. - broke off taking easier lower route - *2 Two of party broke off taking road down into Crowdicote).

 Leader Liz Savage – Wednesday – car Ramble from Sheffield – 10 in party  - estimated mileage for full route about 13miles (wheel measured)

Note - had serious technical problems with camera - could not see 'settings' when photographing and could not see the photographs after taking them. Only knew what was actually taken afterwards when sim card was placed in computer and pictures revealed - many pictures had to be discarded! Cameras are now sophisticated computers - and their computers seem to go easily wrong? Camera designers could take some tips from mobile phones which have virtually no projections which can snag and seem to be very robust and of course include computers and 'non snagging' touch screens
