Acknowledgements Second edition Although this book was a labour of love for my father, the second edition has required the input of various people. Thanks must go to firstly to all those who supplied corrections, with special thanks to Ian Smith who spent weeks walking the Moor checking up sites and grid references; secondly, to the proof-readers for spotting all those OCR glitches and checking the indices, including Anthony Francis-Jones and Ian Smith (again); thirdly for my wife who barely saw me away from the computer for five months as I pulled this project together; and lastly for Zathras who has instinctive timing of when to sit on the keyboard, and without whom there would have been far fewer random errors. 381 Gorse J 2 Hooten Wheals P 12 Michelcombe Q 14 Index Great Kneeset F 8 Horn’s Cross P 13 Middlecott F 16 Great Links Tor F 5 Horrabridge P 3 Miolstone K 16 To squares Great Mis Tor L 6 Hound Tor K 17 Money Pit, The N 14 Great Rock Mine I 22 Huckworthy Bridge P 4 Moor Cross T 15 Great Staple Tor L 5 Huntingdon Warren Fm.
