The 2 on Broomhead Moor were seen NW of the shooting cabin Martin so you would have needed to be well along the path to the cabin to see them. 1 still present when I left at 4:30 although doubtless the other one won't have been far away.

Thanks Dave. It was quite late when I arrived and I had already walked 7-8 miles, so I didn't fancy the walk after the second bend. Old age is catching up - FAST.
