KINDER SCOUT : Protected Now They Say

After wandering over Kinder ( sometimes been burnt to a cinder... and with more stories than even an Anitcant can tell) I hear that those high up peat bogs and rocks and all that are now a natural treasure for the UK.

Anybody remember the protests from a few years ago? Anybody recall the ways that working folk were denied access to the so called "outdoors"?

Brings back a memory. One day as I was tramping upon the Kinder Scout moors I was stopped. A friendly man asked me : " How far is the Snake Inn"?
