Towards Upper Ogden Reservoir
What's this memorial we see ahead?
A memorial to remember
Bill Smith who sadly died
whilst out fell running
on Saddle Fell back in 2011
after becoming stuck in a peat bog.
He lay stuck in the bog for three weeks
before his body was found
Read about it on the
Telegraph Website
