    I'm absolutely shocked and disgusted about this. Win Hill was my back garden when I was a lass and it's my favorite hill. I'm beyond words that someone would steal the top of it :angry:

    Whoever is responsible should be made to stand at the top of the Pike for the next 6 months 9-5 every day and give people instructions about what they can see in different directions. The same goes for the person who stole the Hope cross.

    I should have been a judge.
