The first bit of that film at Birkdale is on the other side of our fell, 6 miles from our house but over an hour to get there by road via Brough and Middleton, we gather sheep to there 3 times a year, think its one of the most isolated farms in England, remember the first time I went there thinking who the hell ever thought to build a house here on the middle of the fell miles from anywhere

Very bleak up there, can just about see it from the radar station I think or maybe it was cross fell, seen it when I was up there anyways
