Setting out for Dent. This is the guest house I stayed at overnight. Ebor House
in Hawes. Excellent and good value.

End of the day

looking like a drowned rat.
I put the bike into the basement, had a shower and walked into the
town for a meal.
The people in this pub, The White Hart, were really friendly so after my meal I stayed
for another pint.
Now I’m turning in for bed and looking forward to tomorrow.
Thanks for all the messages of encouragement – really apprecited.

This is where the series was filmed – Askrigg. Just a few miles from
my stop for the night. It’s starting to rain again so I wish I was there
now although I’m not particularly tired.
Leaving Swaledale

The climb out of Swaledale up Crow Trees Hill is possibly tougher than the climb in. It’s
certainly longer. But the payoff is the view across the dale. This is
one shot looking west – the other direction is just as beautiful.
Anyone for a penny farthing?

can’t imagine a penny farthing coping with the terrain round here.
I’m in Gunnerside and I’ve just had a Pot of Tea, Fruitcake and big slab of
Wensleydale Cheese.
A dear lady, who’s lived in the village for 16 years, told be about a
visit from the BBC when they filmed a story about the problems of
living in a remote rural community.
Now – on to Askrigg
