Most of these sites have dog training once a month during the week if that! You can normally tell by the amount of police vans parked.

Id like to explore in this, not sure I want taken down by Police dogs though.

you won't
in 10years, never seen one single dog. Only ever the white patrolling landy once a day before the MOD handed it over. Now, nothing, just an unfriendly farmer

I was once working at Whitehaven and drove back via Broughton Moor to have a quick conk and was amazed to find two people sitting in a car in the entrance with a video camera who were convnced that the place was used by the government for hiding U.F.Os and were waiting to film them;I had an amusing half hour chat with them before returning to the sanity of Lancashire.This incident took place around seven years ago.
