In Broadmoor Wood Well-named: I felt ready for Broadmoor after blundering about in bouldery bracken trying to find the footpath to Lodgedale. I was reassured to find this sign indicating that (despite appearances) I was still in the right place. The path is fairly well signposted, but obviously not well used. I got utterly lost in the same wood a bit later, near the Raddle Inn in Hollington.

Dry-stone walling, Staffordshire style This tendency to lay courses of stones at a shallow diagonal seems to be a local tradition, as I saw several walls in the area with a similar style. Earlier in my walk I said good morning to someone dry-stone-walling as I passed by, but he appeared to be laying his courses conventionally (i.e. horizontally).
