Tough going on Soil Hill this last few months Dave.
Maybe all the Goodies will arrive at once?
Snow Bunt. would be a good start.
John
Soil Hill is looking like a venue lost now apart from a good vantage point with the whole of the summit overgrown leaving just 3 small areas now suitable for Snow Bunt. I think Ringby will be the place for them this year. Plenty heather burning all last week and over the weekend across on Ilkley Moor. They dont listen do they.
