I think that’s the other Barlow, the Dronfield one.

The whole thing looks to be very popular, amazed I’ve never heard of it.
It had me scratching my head, and after a Google search
I think it's the Barlow near Newcastle, near Blaydon.

That is the right Barlow, see 6 of them are in the Nature reserve that Mrs SW and myself sometimes visit.

Most of the others are on a circular walk (about 5 mile) we occasionally do starting from the nature reserve to the river then into the village and back along the Drax power path (BB may know the route).

My MORSE may be rusty but looks like numbers with a letter at the start of each row although I'm trying to work out which way round thy dot or dash but think thats it now. Co-ordinates.

The North bearings are correct the West definitely starts 55 but doesn’t like the rest & there should be 5 numbers not 6. Hope this makes sense. So it’s …

N57 42.151
W55 ?? ???
