Please assemble at the car park (SJ 987 697) adjacent to Clough House. This is
about 1 mile N. of the disused quarry where we have previously parked en route
to Shutlingsloe, and on the opposite side of the road. We shall set off from here
at about 10.30 If the road signs say “Nottinghamshire” just nip 62.5 miles due
west.
We shall travel initially to the East to drop down into the Dane Valley
downstream from Knar and thence to Panniers Pool and Danebower Qarries.
Thereafter we shall travel in the direction of the Cat and Fiddle before
descending to Cumberland Brook which is a remote place much to the taste of
those disillusioned with certain sectors of humanity.
The underfoot conditions, both soft and rocky in turn may suffer by comparison
with Wembley but are superior in my view to those described by your Hon Editor
on another occasion as “God forgotten bogland” On that occasion, the
abundance of North bound footmarks and the total absence of those in the
return direction probably created a false impression of perils ahead’
