Hi Kipper,

I don't know the area particularly well, but I am will to have a go at one or two of the places, as long as you don't expect them done overnight

No,no take as long as neccisary, longer in needed

Okay, I'm going offline now.. We shall discuss this again

Hi, I'd be happy to write something - but surely you don't mean to write something about *everything* on that list?


This A53660595 is the Staffordshire one that Bob Stafford and I co-wrote ( it was a Flea Market rescue) with a few collaborative bits from a few other authors. It took ages getting it through PR and I felt it was a bit like a list in the end, and I think I remember Bob saying it was over 7000 words. The Writing-Guidelines state


>>>
Write Entries of Appropriate Length
We are not necessarily looking for long entries, just well-researched, well-balanced, well-written ones. Researchers are much more likely to read entries and comment on them if it's possible to read them in one sitting. As a general guide:

It's usually difficult to adequately cover a topic in less than 250 words.
If your entry is getting a bit lengthy (1,200 words or more), you might consider splitting it into smaller sub-topics or a series of entries.<<<



Anyway, the offer is there should you wish to take me up on it - I live just across the border, in the Staffordshire Moorlands, so I do know the nearby parts quite well.

No No
that is just a preliminary list, it will be chopped down to a more managable size

A50825360 Well Dressings

This entry will allow you to link to some of the villages on your list.


Which parts are you most familiar with yourself Kipper?

In the well dressing artical or my artical?

sorry Kipper, not enough caffeine in my brain cells yet. I meant, in Derbyshire. I only know first hand the bits towards the Peak District, ie Buxton, Ashbourne, Bakewell etc. I wondered whether which bits you knew best.



aha just remembered nosebagbear U14077177 lives in this neck of the woods - you should contact him.

argh - still not enough ignore that useless 'whether'


*shakes head* drinks some more

I am more familiar with the south end of the county Derby, Church gresley that sort of area
thanks i will get in touch with NBB asap

By the way I've split the entru in to two for the moment for further possible sub devison

I could possibly give you a hand with this, Kipper. I know a fair few places round those parts (mainly stone circles and burial mounds)
