Wet moorland, Doddington Today was my first encounter with England's new non-access laws. How did the gomls  keep this chunk of moorland off the orange maps? Then I encountered an orange area which a meanie could have argued out on grounds of being woodland, swings and roundabouts. This area is  moorland with a wet area / flight pool. Snipe were calling from the bog.
