  1. Ooooh - thanks for heads up with the walks book! I did have one with the "Bronte Way" in it, but I felt like I wanted a more detailed one closer to Haworth for my next trip. People say there's signs everywhere to Top Withins and such, but I couldn't find them! So I was a bit lost and could merely stand on the edge of the road and peer off at the snow-covered moors (having put my ankle out sliding down a heathery bank, Lockwood style).
