It aint just the Water Board that's to blame up here (or 'Yorkshire bastard Water' as it's called these days, to most Yorkshire people), but there's certainly been a helluva drop in the 30 years since I've trogged about up there.
<What's your latest email addy? >
My present email is: [email protected] (hope it stays that way aswell)
< maybe Denton Moor is a place to look for enclosures too? >
Oh aye! That's where we begin, sometime next week all being well.
Talk again - Paul
