Broomy Law, northeast ridge The deep heather reported here: <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/202152">NT0943 : Broomy Law, northeast ridge</a> has been burnt off and a series of muddy tracks run up the hill. The tracks are probably due to the recent building of a barbed wire fence between the moor and forest.
