Volunteer, Dave Clarke, has now taken over the job of coordinating the very popular FoBV guided walks.
Dave began by accompanying Kieran Lee and Kate Crossley as a back-up on the walks.
He said: “Kate and Kieran are terrific walk leaders and it was my way of learning some of the main facts and interesting stories about the viaduct.
"I also picked up useful stories of the viaduct from chatting to fellow volunteer Richard Bull and reading the recent book Bennerley Viaduct - The Iron Giant of the Erewash Valley published by the FoBV."
Once up to speed on all things Bennerley Viaduct, Dave soon joined Kate, Pete Harris and Alan Green as a walk leader and recently became responsible for coordinating the whole programme of guided visits.
