RBR The Great Walk

The July 2014 running day at Rocks by Rail celebrated the 40th anniversary of "The Great Walk", when the dragline Sundew was walked 13 miles cross country from Exton Park to Corby, following closure of the ironstone quarry at the former. Little remains now but pictures and memories, and this day was to give a kick start to a project to gather them together. Many people have already given pictures and so many more did today, with a lot of follow up to to do. A great day and hopefully the start of something big. We also had the unveiling of a commissioned piece of art, part of a Rutland wide initiative, with Rob Persani from Rutland Radio doing the honours.
