Both sons came home this weekend, they are keener walkers than my husband and were happy to take me up to the edge of Langbar/Middleton Moors. It was so good to be back there after nearly 3 weeks of being restricted by the sprained ankle, I managed 2 miles along the lanes in the sunshine with the stunning views across to Ilkley Moor and the Skipton hills. We passed “Concrete Square”: if you’re wondering, this is exactly what it is! I have tried to find out why it’s there and have been told that in World War 2 it was the platform for a searchlight finding German planes flying over to Liverpool but I have no way of checking this information.
