Which is just stupid. Out here it maybe the only way to locate a
moorland fire some where in 50 sq miles of road and track free
moorland... Even on the road between South Tyne Dale and Teesdale
there is 6 miles from the last house in South Tyne Dale to the first
one at the Top of Teesdale. It's not without reason that this area is
know as "Englands last Wilderness" and with 6 of the highest roads
also the "Roof of England".
