It could have been a wagon train or a line of alien invaders standing out white against the dull brown of Houndkirk Moor. If we had spotted a tree there it would have been about as startling. In fact we were seeing a line of bales for collecting heather to be used for re-seeding some of the eroded sections of Peak District moorland. This activity helps to keep the conservation workers busy. Alien invaders of another kind are also welcome for much the same reason.
Aliens would have been more interesting.

Some other noteworthy features of the local managed environment were on view in the pasture land. Visitors who only come out in the warmer and lighter months will soon be flocking here to see one of the district's finest examples of a surface livestock latrine.
