It was ground-breaking," says Rory about the success of the club. "We had internationally singing stars coming over from all over Great Britain." Athena says: “I love heading into Padley Gorge because it really feels so full of life – listening to the plunging waterfalls, rustling leafs and birdlife. It’s also a great place to head when it’s really windy or rainy in the Peak District as the forest is relatively sheltered. Grindleford Station Cafe is a quirky spot to head on your return.” Walk 7: Two Mini Mountains

We met more people in Biggin Dale than we did in Wolfscote Dale and several people did comment on how suprised they were to find so much water in the dale. Athena says: “These two hills benefit from some glorious views from a quiet, country village. Their unique figures make them a must-do hike when in the Peak District.” Walk 8: Three Counties In One Day The stream continued most of the way up the dale, although once the first part had been negotiated the path did stay out of the water. For three heady weeks during the summer of 1990, English football actually forgot about Bobby Moore and 1966. Galling though it was to lose that semi-final penalty shoot-out against West Germany at Italia 90 , English fans at last had some new footballing heroes. And, fan or not, everyone warmed to a funny-faced lad from Gateshead called Paul Gascoigne.

If you consider one of his former managers' take on him, this seems even more improbable. 'He isn't an easy player to deal with. He was a cantankerous bugger. To think that he is still playing now is testament to him. He is a magnificent survivor.' For a player whose travels have taken in Clough, an FA Cup final own goal, 59 England caps, Serie A and his return to the City Ground, not much is known about Walker. Which is not surprising when you consider that in 20 years at the top, this is only his second interview. Kinder Scout has to be the most iconic walk in the Peak District. It’s widely known as being home to the famous Mass Trespass of 1932, when around 400 ramblers wilfully trespassed onto Kinder in an act of “civil disobedience” to demand the right for public access onto open countryside. Today, Kinder is known as the ‘People’s Mountain’ as its relatively low height means its views can be enjoyed by many. Despite that, Kinder Scout shouldn’t be underestimated. Walking the full length of the plateau is a brilliant day out, taking you from Edale up the infamous Jacob’s Ladder and over 10 miles of trails with glorious views onto the Hope Valley. And, despite his six decade-long career, Roy shares that he still wants to continue entertaining people. It also features contributions from the likes of comedian John Linehan, radio DJ Chris Moyles and Happy Mondays front man Shaun Ryder, who became friends with Roy while filming ‘100 Years Younger in 21 Days’.

In addition to being a reluctant interviewee, Walker has been a less-than-enthusiastic goalscorer. In more than 700 games, his return is one. 'We played Luton, 90th minute?' Yes, he is prompted, New Year's day 1992. 'Bit of a mad celebration, tore a muscle.' Then he brightens. 'Nice for the fans but a clean sheet is more of a buzz.'

There aren’t actually a lot of ‘hills’ in the Peak District, with many hillwalks leading onto moors and plateaus. Win Hill makes for a fairly short but strenuous hike onto a well-defined hill, that is easily recognisable when seen on the horizon from many other parts of the Peak District! Views from the summit look to Ladybower and Derwent Reservoir, Mam Tor, Bamford Edge and its neighbouring Lose Hill. The story goes that the names Win Hill & Lose Hill derive from a 7th century battle, but there is no historical evidence to suggest that this is fact… it makes a good story anyhow, and a hike up Win Hill from Hope feels like a small victory in many ways. Make sure you head to the Grasshopper Cafe on your return for the best coffee and cake in the Peak District! With articles on the latest music, family, arts, theatre, food and drink, comedy and shopping events we've got you covered! Heading for the second bridge across the River Dove, which will take us into the field that joins Beresford Dale to Wolfscote Dale. Second hand wheelie walker in good condition , it has grocery basket under the seat, functioning brakes, wheels are all good and running correctly. Walker made his debut against Everton in March 1984. Playing alongside current boss Paul Hart, he found it simple. 'The whole club's geared, whatever your position, to not mixing your job up.' He cites Clough as his biggest influence, but what was old Green Jersey like? 'His unpredictability became predictable. After the Littlewoods Cup [in 1989] we were in the next day. I thought, "Run me all you like, I've just won the final." And he goes, "Desmond, to the front. We're going through the trees again because Desmond doesn't want to do it".'

Repeat the steps to move forward. Take your wheelie walker slow and try to keep good posture. Where to buy a wheelie walker? Athena says: “This is such a lovely and fairly short hike to enjoy on a summer’s afternoon or a winter’s morning. The highlight of course being the stunning views and the coffee and cake on your return!” Walk 6: The Forest Walk It is a touch difficult to know what to make of him. As Pleat remarked: 'Much as I would've liked to, I always found it hard to communicate with him.' One thing that is certain is his popularity in Nottingham. 'He's been an absolute legend this season,' says one fan, surely speaking for them all. When he finally stops, possibly having guided them into the Premiership, maybe the Forest fans should tinker a little with their tune and sing as he disappears: 'You'll never, ever, ever, meet Des Walker.' Just three runners went to post for the class two Magnum Classic Ice Cream Handicap, with wife and husband duo Hollie Doyle and Tom Marquand both representing Godolphin, up against 11/8 favourite Israr.

Walker is late. But, after five months and finally agreeing to talk only after being cornered in the Forest car park, it hardly matters. True to his elusive nature, when the wiry defender does appear, his opening line is unexpected: 'Just a word of warning, I don't want any Martin Bashir-type interview techniques.' He laughs, then sits on a sofa in the deserted Forest press room. As well as the laugh, you notice the twinkle in his eye, although like any sportsman who has been a long time at the top there are glimpses of hurt pride and regret. Hand Grips: Options include straight hand grips, padded hand grips and ergonomic hand grips that mould to the shape of your grip. Brakes: Brakes are naturally an essential feature of a wheelie walker. Products include wheelie walkers with lever-style hand brakes similar to a bicycle, or pressure brakes for walking frames that are activated when you press down on the walker. Virtually all of Sir Bobby Robson's 23 - Dave Beasant was called up as a replacement for David Seaman - no longer play. Ignore the two goalkeeping Daves, who are still operating at Brighton and Arsenal respectively, and the last player still standing, following Gascoigne's sad exit from China, is the defender 'you'll never beat'.We head uphill, along Highfield Lane, where we know once we are at the top we will be rewarded with some good views.
