An evening walk taking in Burbage Edge and Oliver Hill. Beautiful views. /D - I approached via the well walked path from the north via the aerials. The farmer has erected a new fence with no stile, and the cairn was demolished. I rebuilt it. This land is open access, so there is no reason to try and prevent access.meltdiceburg05/06/2023
