REVIVING an idea postponed because of the foot and mouth crisis, Rossendale Ramblers will take on a new venture, a series of walks starting next month.

The walks have been planned by Keith Pickup and be of around seven or eight miles. Buses are to be used to get to the starting points and to return to Rawtenstall.

Water to Rising Bridge is the first walk on April 6 starting from Kay Street car park at 10.30am. The next walk will be on April 20 from Rising Bridge to Grane Reservoirs after skirting Thirteen Stone Hill.
