I remember my gran leading my siblings and I on a very hot, dusty and ultimately unsuccessful search for the source of the river Wharfe in the dales one summer day in about 1977 ... definitely no sign to mark the spot (or at least no sign to mark the spot we finally settled upon, more out of desparation than in any genuine belief that we'd really found the actual source).
So, rather off topic perhaps, how many other river sources can others point to as being marked by signs? The Derwent source is the only one I'm aware of.
Ian this looks a fantastic tour of duty. Gives me something to aim for in a couple of months...

Fresh from his triumph of completing the Marathon des Sables. Steve Martin of Dark Peak went round the Derwent Devil in 8.40, he was understandably dissapointed by the lack of camels....

Do you want any assistants in your type of buseness Ian. How do you get out as much as you do?
