The few remains of a burnt out fire engine are located just South East of the Blue Man-i’-th’-Moss standing stone.
I believe it was caught trying to put out a moorland fire some time in the 1970s.
I believe the appliance involved was a Green Godess that became bogged down while fighting a large fire on Wheeldale Moor in 1976, this event was related to me by old hands in the fire service which I joined in 1978 ( still in !)
Does the dubious ritual that appears to going on around the engine have any connection to the standing stone I wonder?
