There’s a really similar looking structure on Ilkley moor close to where I live. We wondered for ages what it was for. Northern Antiquarian runs with the Pixie theme. I wasn’t sure but I tried to send my daughter in for a look. https://www.thenorthernantiquarian.org/2014/09/02/fairymine/

I don’t remember the food at the Hill Inn (to be honest there’s a lot of nights at the Hill Inn that are a blur at best) but does anyone else remember climbing through the wooden wagon wheels between the booths? Not sure that would pass as acceptable any more.

Just been notified that the Three Peaks Fell race next weekend has to alter the route due to ‘ongoing ground conditions’ at ‘the request of the landowner’. It now adds about 1k to avoid - you guessed it - Birkwith. I’m not one to kick up a stink and I’m adding one and one with no proof but if...

Neat. Nice. 👌
