Spirit of Kinder 2019
Despite gale force winds and torrential rain, the 2019 Spirit of Kinder was celebrated at Castleton on 27th April.
There was a short walk up to Winnats Pass, site of many rallies in the days of mass trespasses and campaigns for access.
The walk was followed by a rally at the Peveril Centre. Speakers included Ruth George (MP for High Peak) and Lynn Robinson (BMC President).
Jarvis Cocker was a surprise guest speaker, and recalled childhood memories of visiting the Peak District.
Jarvis, above in suitable militant mode with Ramblers President, Stuart Maconie, is leading the National Trust's project to celebrate the mass trespass (as part of their People's Landscapes national theme) by connecting with Sheffield communities, schools and youth clubs.
