Well, I do have the words to Ilkley Moor. A bit strange maybe, coming
from someone who lives and scouts in the Netherlands ? Well, our group
happens to have a link-up with the 1st Ben Rhydding Scouts and 2nd Ilkley
Guides, so I've visited the town of Ilkley a number of times, and on these
occasions, I've learned the song. I'm sorry if I didn't get all of the
weird spelling right...
