No, unfortunately the only thing I have ever seen in Wooly woods is a few Golf Balls that have strayed off course.

Sounds as bad as the wincobank wanderer

Long Long ago Wincobank was just like the peak district ... Now Look at it.

Yokels done builded homesteads an' scared all them thar critters an' small folk from them thar woods. Shucks! Y'all bin an' gone an' ruined that thar hill.:thumbsup:

In the 1940's in Wooly wood the only little people in there were me , my mates, Freddy Bennet, Rodger Ives, Keith Woodrff, Ron Eagle, Brian Foster, we played there on a daily basis, we knew every nook and cranny of those woods, from the swings and playground at Winkobank, up to the Grange Road End of the woods. Apart from us, we never saw any little people.

I can remember camping out one night with a friend near Woolley Woods (off Ecclesfield Road near Grange Lane by the railway track) in the hope of spotting the legendary Headless Horseman.

Has anyone else seen him?

spent my life in them there woods 38years never seen owt like little people these days more likely to see little ***** on motorbikes:)
