    The Narrow Gate

    Good morning. I am going away on Sunday for a few days to the beautiful High Peak in the Peak District of the UK to camp and walk. I’m hoping to walk to Kinder Scout, the place the historic mass trespass happened, which led to rights of way and public paths being granted to common…
