Flakebridge
Flakebridge comprises a scattering of houses along the southern edge of Flakebridge Wood, above the very flat valley of Murton Beck. This house sits opposite the junction track heading north alongside Swine Gill, deeper into the forest. Judging by the noise which assailed us for the best part of an hour as we approached this point, which had fortunately ceased by the time we got here, the main activity here is slaughtering anything that comes into shotgun range. Just to the west, after the shooting had desisted, the howls of very many dogs serenaded our passing from a building in which they were clearly imprisoned but keen to escape and either greet or devour passers by.
