Hi, I was out with the thursday troops this week as school is closed, where I work before someone suggests I still attend :lol: We travelled to the Peaks and parked up at Bowden Bridge quarry where there is the sign to the "Kinder Scout Trespass" of April 1932 where the people protested and fought for our right to roam.
