Off to Ilkley tha nows

Damp start ere at the cattle market car park but wim soon underway after a refuel in Hawes before heading south over the hills on another mountain goat road. Road is narrow but very open so you can spot traffic approaching but a bit dismal for views for herselfs camera work. Down from the hills threading through the tiny villages we round a corner and er worst fears are realised and wim head to head with a huge articulated farm lorry. The lorry reverses a bit into the hedge and with me mirrors folded we scrape by without a scrape! Yo can only imagine the earful he's receiving after that, poor sod. Anyways we roll into Grassington, a village jewel with steep cobbled streets with cafes and tourists shops a plenty for a lunch break. A Wensleydale toasted cheese sandwich apparently. Off again and we roll into a rather nice site just outside Ilkley overlooking the river and hillsides now in lovely bright sunshine to spend the night.Läs mer
