'Behold Ye Ramblers’ is the history of the struggle for ‘The Right To Roam’; the history of the Clarion Ramblers, the British Workers’ Sports Federation, the Rambling Association, the R2R Campaign; and of all the pioneers and campaigners. This is an entertaining celebration through word and songs of the history of rambling; we follow Walking-Class Hero, George HB Ward, and his fellow activists from the Clarion Ramblers campaigning for public access across Derbyshire's moorlands; we explore open spaces and tell the story of how just 8% of the UK's landscape is allowed to be rambled on today. Find out how this happened, who fought for our Right to Roam and be entertained at the same time. A show for all to see and to be determined to be able to walk alone and with others!
