Typical flagged path made with flags from Lancashire mills. They are flown up by helicopter, reduces erosion enormously.

View back down into Edale Valley, I live in the strip of trees in the centre.

On the way down a small area of burnt heather. Traditional management a bit like miniature coppicing. It creates age range in the shrub layer and increases diversity.
