This is a typical 20 years old Charlie Chadwick ‘in haste’ day – the CTC Section in Bolton never seemed to programme their leaders sufficiently far in advance, or Charlie never gave the Club noticeboard much attention.  Time and again he seems to discover at the last minute he has to lead a run somewhere, and in those days that involved arranging for the lunch and tea stop venues to be forewarned and forearmed !

So here is our hero scouting the route and reserving suitable cafe venues for the forthcoming weeks run.  That he had to fight his way through deep snow in places just made the job much more challenging.
