Footpath on Dick Delf Hill Predictably it was waterlogged, and the small drainage channel alongside it hasn't made much impression. However there is always a way round.

Some activity on the moor tops There are several of these sites, but I don't know what they are for. A square of peat has been lifted and then weighed down with breeze blocks. Meanwhile the original hole has filled up with water.
