| Derby Nomad Ramblers
was established by Keith Hands, Bill Ross, Major Chadwick, Stan
Turner and Arthur Whitaker at a meeting held at 5 Bloomfield Street,
Derby on 5th. Sept 1935. Mr W Ross was appointed Hon. Sec. The
inaugural Nomad Ramble took place on Sunday 8th September 1935 using
for transport the old LMS 10-20 train ex. Derby to Edale. The walk
over Kinder Scout included “Lunch” at “The Sportsman Inn” -
Hayfield.
A reputation as the
hardest walking club in Derbyshire was acquired, but the club has mellowed
and walks are now organised to suit most abilities.
Today the club has
around 75 members
