Extracted from exercise books I & II these reports run from 7th December 1957 until 19th May 1959, when the account stops, literally mid-word. The rambles clearly continued as photographs were still being taken in 1960 but there have been no written records found. The photographs taken during 1959 to 1960 are included in this category, either with the text reports if they can be linked, or in a separate report at the end.

Frank re-commenced his written reports in October 1961, expressing his regret for the missing records.  This category covers the reports from books III & IV from this point onwards until May 1962. No records have been found covering 1963, although photos were taken and they are included here along with those from 1961 and 1962.

The period from 1964 to 1969 was the busiest time for Frank's record keeping and there are so many reports and photographs that we have split it into two categories. This one begins with the new school term in September 1964 and runs until the end of 1966. Most of the photographs taken during this period have been linked to individual walks apart from a few in 1964, which are included in a separate report at the end of that year.

The reports in this section covering 1969 to 1972 are taken from the ‘name book'. The names are often written in pupils' hand-writing. The text, if any, is written as brief notes. During this period several pupils helped with ‘working parties' in the peak District, such as repairing bridges and putting up signposts.
