Considering how it looks on the map, tucked into a wedge-shaped 'dink' in the built-upness of Birmingham, I hadn't expected it to feel so out-in-the-sticks. <br /><br />Bardon Hill is less than 30 miles away from our house, so if you can usefully use us as a stop-over on your travels to pick up the remaining scattered hills, then you'd be most welcome. The only potentially tricky thing would be catching us at home!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.com
