Commenting, Corrina Ive said, “The Rosemere Ramblers showed characteristic strong spirit, and greatly enjoyed the occasion. We were delighted to raise a worthwhile sum for a very deserving cause and at the same time get some beneficial exercise and enjoy the wonderful scenery in the part of England where we are fortunate enough to be based.”
