It’s Joe, and his generation, that I feel sorriest for right now. He turns 18 in a few weeks yet is spending this time locked in a room with, or rather without, everyone else. At least he’s still prepared to get out into the landscape now and again: here, on Brown Wardle Hill, above Whitworth in Lancashire.
Has Brown Wardle gained Hill? Dle means hill too. There are quite a few hills with the name hill, hill, hill in different languages. Pendle Hill for example. Brown Wardle has changed since I last was there!
According to the OS map it’s got “Hill” at the end of its name, yes
