    Yes I know Mr and Mrs Langsett "Dave" and High Peak Bob. They've all bodied for the rescue team, they've also passed on some good grid refs for rare items found in the peak. Some of the pics on his page though aren't correct. the VI crater is nearer Outeredge and the pic he show is for a German parachute mine, the metal was tested a few years ago I understand. Still its a great site though. He's just given me the grid ref for a bog rosemary plant, not checked it out yet but soon as the bird restrictions finish....
    Dave and Bob got me into researching the old targets in the hills following all the live ordnance that turns up. always loads to explore. I found a 60 year old bottle on the hill last week. we now use it as a water bottle for the table....it has character
