It was lovely up on the moors and I'm almost positive we had to climb over that very stile - or one very much like it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-80002746556813802062009-03-08T18:36:00.000+00:002009-03-08T18:36:00.000+00:00This takes me back to Youth Club Easter Hikes in t...This takes me back to Youth Club Easter Hikes in the 1960s- we always went to this area.
