Swaledale

Well that was a bit of a windy night on top of the Dales and a bit of rain as well for good measure. Anyway we set off in murky conditions following the river Swale valley through iconic Dale's villages. Narrow roads kept me on me toes as herself oohed and aahed round every narrow blind corner - well yow know wot ers like! Short stop at lovely Reeth but not so nice in cloudy weather so they decide to head for tonight's night stop in Hawes via the Buttertubs Pass. A spectacular road but misty weather limiting the fine views. We arrive in Hawes and park up in the blinkin cattle market car park which slopes steeply which I ay keen on at all. Even up on me blocks don't level me, but ees appy cos it's a free night as opposed to the £38 the Caravan Club site want for the night. They wander off to Hawes for a look round, and yo won't believe this, they ave a pint in one of the pubs! Three other vans here so we ay on our ownsome and we ave a peaceful but rainy night.Read more
