Bleaklow is not in the English Lake District, it is in the Peak District, next to Kinder Scout.
Ewan McColl, baptismal-name Jimmy Miller, was the press secretary for the Mass Trespass of Kinder Scout in 1932 and both Bleaklow and Kinder were the sites of his first walking expeditions. He wrote the Manchester Rambler to celebrate the Mass Trespass which was organised by the Manchester Sports Guild, set up by the Manchester and Salford Communist Party. Ewan was born in Salford, the "dirty old town" in the song of that name.
