Yorkshire Dales trip

[Lenny HB]

Did a nice long walk today, down past Firby Hall, a beautiful house and estate, this property sold for 4.6 million in 2014 so maybe 6 million today?

Back through Bedale a quick pint of Guinness at the Waggon pub and back to the van for a late lunch.

I forgot to take a photo so I’ve cheated this time to show you one online.

It’s chucking it darn out there Lenny HB will be pleased to know .

But I got back before it started so still only got soaked through 5 times in these 10 days so far

Not got wet yet in 3½ weeks, cabin on the boat is very dry.

We have been lucky in France once we got to the Dordogne only had one day of light rain in over 3 weeks, has rained a few times overnight but not during the day.

Just south of Amsterdam at the moment horrendous night but bright & sunny this morning but it is blowing a Gale.
Ferry to Newcastle at 5:30 pm quite expect it to be delayed.

Hope the winds tonight don’t give you a rough crossing. Once had a truly dreadful crossing Hull to Rotterdam.

And before you ask mine is the one on his left paw.

'er indoors loves a rough crossing I'm OK as long as my beer doesn't come back up.

It’s a rough night here wind and rain heating on its cosy inside.

Even the dogs wanted to get back in as quickly as possible after their tea.

Jug lugs Suki seems a lot better which is good. She’s had a good walk and is relaxing now.

It’s been an enjoyable trip mind you 2 weeks off work I would have been happy in a dirty Sh1thole. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Weather not the best but Yorkshiremen are tough as old boots a bit of inclemency is no problem this was me last winter asell tell thee, laughing high up on the moors.

I see the remote house I passed as I walked up Whernside on this trip is still for sale, it’s now quite famous by the looks of it, no electric, no water, no access by vehicles, a good 30 minute walk to get to it, although they say 20 minutes, it’s a derelict shell.

Yorkshire's most remote home with no electricity that just won't sell

The former railway worker's home is a 20-minute walk from the nearest road if you don't own a 4x4

That’s not a road, it’s a footpath that leads to Whernside summit, you can’t drive on it.
During decent weather you would get thousands of hikers every week walking straight by the front door. I’ve done it many times myself.

 

[CazPaul]

This is me and Ted at the very

summit of Whernside. The highest of the Yorkshire Dales 3 peaks at 736 metres, 2410 feet.

It's about time you Lanky's, Tykes, Geordies, Makems, and the like did all those Southern Softies a big favour and organised a Fun Rally, 'oop there'

If I could manage to do it from Cornwall, it'll be a piece of parkin for you lot.

I’ll have to wait 10 years to retirement to organise that, unless I post one now for 2033
Give members plenty of time to plan so they can attend.
