here's a more detailed map



and a couple of aerial shots



of the two main clusters



I've got them all logged into a Garmin GPS so it's just a case of pressing "go to", in order, to end up with a good days photographing
I cann't figure a way of posting the Memory Map .mmo file on here ? but if any one would like it I could e-mail it no problem.
So if there's any interest ? It could maybe turn into a TNA days outing (not forgeting the Grouse shooting at the moment)
Any comment's -- cheers all Danny

Hi Danny!

There's some quite good un's up there. If y' fancy, we could give 'em a go next Tuesday? There's a couple of reasonably new finds up there that I aint seen yet, and if we're lucky we might find another coupla others somewhere amidst the heaths.

See y' tomorrow!

Cheers for that Danny. Received at this end. I've emailed it to Dave aswell, as it seems there's much necessary info in relation to the intrusion caused by that pipeline over Askwith Moor and the archaeo-regulations.
