Loremen S5Ep54 - The Crooker of Derwent River with Willow Winsham

A country walk always brings to mind certain maxims. "Stop and smell the roses," for one. "If a tree falls..." is another. But now there's a new one - "Beware the Crooker!" The boys are taken to a spooky Derbyshire riverside by historian and author Willow Winsham. You might feel a gnarly wooden finger tingling your spine in this episode. But James and Alasdair find time to ask the big questions. Where is the River Darren? How do you hypnotise a chicken? And what do you call those ski lift things where the cars are on... like... cables?
