David Blowers was another who used the pages of the Pennine Way Association’s newsletter to praise the Burnops’ unfailing hospitality. He recounted the highlights from his walk along the Pennine Way in July 1979 with two fellow sixth-formers:

Woodhead Farm was such a welcome sight and we had been told that a meal from ‘the Burnops of Woodhead Farm’ was something not to be missed, so our first approach to Mr Burnop was tactful: we asked if the pub in the village served meals and to our delight he answered by saying that his wife may cook us a meal. Feeling in a better mood we went to put the tent up.

A paragraph dedicated to Mr and Mrs Burnop:

These are the most amazing people that I have ever come across. They allowed us, and the two French ladies [also walking the Pennine Way], who were having bed and breakfast and evening meal, to use their washing and toilet facilities. Not only that but they were friendly and the meal, well just take a look at this: Soup, roll and butter, roast steak, roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, sprouts, carrots, runner beans, cabbage, cauliflower, biscuits and cheese, strawberries and ice cream, tea … wonderful.
