No, it's nothing like that - do they look organic? There is a cross country trail underneath one stretch of the road - it is formally a Bridleway, and I have a little oral lore concerning it. But the picture shows shooters' roads. People are excluded, I think you'll find. "Oh, you can't go up there" from the gamekeeper in a landrover. I've got some more images and don't know what to do with them. It's a project for Heritage Action - this is what I'm suggesting. I'm embroiled in the original complaint over very similar constructions in Northumberland. It goes on and on and my casebook grows ever larger! No one will oppose the shooters as they are so rich - remember Force Majeure? Here it is.

Shall I post the others under Grey Yauds? It should be Grey Yau's, incidentally - there's a Victorian transcription error. If it's any consolation I've just captured a good image of the Long Mortuary Enclosure at Kirkhaugh, the thing I call Smallhenge. The entire cigar-shaped thing shows as a crop mark and I'll get some 7 x 5 prints made and mail them out. I don't even know the name of the shooting estate that has Croglin Fell - the RSPB bird warden at the Tindale Bird Reserve (Mr D. O'Hara) will certainly know. The nearest campsite is at Plumpton - I have the phone number - there's some lodges with camping too not that far away. And there's an eight turbine planning application under consideration also nearby, at Lamonby. Nobody would try and sneak those through without due process! Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and adjacent to a huge SSSI marking the northernmost outcrop of the Pennines, former home to Hen harrier.

Folks, I have done my job, and I thank you all sincerely for this one opportunity.
