	The Harder group are dropped off in Ambergate and set off across fields
	The first bluebell?
	They pose for a group photo with Alan, their leader
	Ominous clouds in the background
	They too ascend to the memorial to the Sherwood Foresters
	Where Alan reads from his notes
	Then descend to the tram tracks
	Where they actually see the tram from Crich Tramway Museum
	They cross the stream at Lea
	Then head to the church at Dethick
	Where they learn that, as well as Florence Nightingale, the author of Little Grey Rabbit books was a local resident
	All this information to be found on the noticeboard in the churchyard.
	They pass a pretty island
	And a big house
	And get to Riber
	With its castle.
	They too descend past Alison Uttley's cottage where there is work going on on the wall.
	At the River Derwent Alan stops and consults his notes
	Then heads along the Cromford Canal
	Passing butterburr on the way to Arkwright's Mill.
