You're welcome both of you, glad I could be of some help :D I used to come across similar boundary markers in the Yorkshire Dales, mainly for marking the edges of lead mine claims so I wondered if these could be the same thing. Not quite right- but close.

Re: New Waterproof

I have had a Craghoppers jacket for about four years now, washed and reproofed several times, it is still soft and performs very well. Normally wouldn't be able to afford one, but it was on offer!!! :lol:
