To be fair to Sam888, when I sent him a private message about "heath"
he replied acknowledging that "moorland" was more accurate than heath.
He said that he had used Bing originally, but after my message had used
streetview to confirm "moorland".

So he was communicating back then (Feb 2016) at least once.

He didn't comment on the fact that I knew the area rather well and had
extensively surveyed with gps and photography....
