    Bedale to Leyburn

    June 23, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Well weme movin on again, they ay letting the grass grow under me wheels that's for sure this trip. Quick stock up of me pantry in next doors Lidl and we are off for a quick look at Northallerton and a stop for lunch at Bedale. All these Yorkshire Market towns we're visiting are lovely to spend time in, and the independent food shops, bakeries and butchers are certainly giving them some lovely meals on the evening. On we go to our site just outside Leyburn in a disused quarry with the Wensleydale Heritage Railway running just behind our pitch, it is a nice spot to sit in the sunshine.Read more

    Leyburn

    June 24, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Well it's another day that they ay done much. A leisurely morning is followed by a stroll into Leyburn as its market day. He says it ain't far, but he and I know it ay a bad march. Anyway they make it and they find that Leyburn town is not much to see, and the market is small, so they content themselves by sampling ales in two pubs from the local Wensleydale Brewery. Also in Leyburn is probably the finest shop/supermarket they have seen selling a huge range of local produce including cheese, meat, bread, and all manner of wonderful produce. It is fantastic that these sort of shops are going from strength to strength and deserve support, which they do looking at the stuff they load into me pantry!Read more

    Richmond

    June 25, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Off we go again, I doh know whether I am coming or actually going theym moving me about such a lot. So Richmond it is - if only we can find somewhere to park! I ay a big lad like some an can squeeze in a car park space wiv a bit of overhang, but sideways is tight, so car park one is out. A quick search finds car park two by the old Richmond Station so we nip in and wots this, a low bridge of 9ft. A quick look at his spec card and we have 6 inches of clearance. So out she pops to mek sure I doh bang me head, it's very tight but wim through. And I can't believe I telling you this, they am off to Pickering Castle. Wot is goin on with these pair? Apart from one tower it's, a pile of old stones so they doh waste much time and go and Ave a look round the town, which boasts one of the biggest market places anywhere and a great selection of shops, cafes etc. After a pint in Spoons they visit the Georgian Theatre with a great guided tour round the oldest working theatres in the country dating back to the 18th century. A fascinating experience at a bargain £5 each. Out of Richmond to spend the night high up in the Dales at a remote farm.Read more

    Swaledale

    June 26, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    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

    Off to Ilkley tha nows

    June 27, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    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.Read more

    Ilkley Moor Bah Tat

    June 28, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Leisurely start to their last day ere in Yorkshire and they amble off to explore Ilkley along the Dales Way following the riverbank. Their task today is to come back with some nice steaks for him to BBQ for their last night and the site owner has told em of a butcher wot matures his grass fed Aberdeen Angus rump steaks in a Himalayan salt chamber, and they are the best apparently. Yeh I know, sounds a bit poncy to me an all. So after a pleasant if longish walk along the river they reach Ilkley and wander around the town which is very pleasant overlooked by the famous moorland, and wouldn't you know it they come across the Wharfedale Brewery tap, and nip in to do some sampling. The butchers is found and their produce is fantastic, and steaks are cut and purchased and after a final tour round the town they cor ignore a visit to Bar Tat (geddit?) for a fortifying drink, before the long stroll home back to the site. The steaks are found to be very nice indeed and himself doh do em to death on the barbie so ers appy, and next day we have a pretty good run home down the M6 getting back just after lunch.

    So wot ave they learned from this tour of Yorkshire?
    They spend more time in pubs than they should. Yow gathered that though?
    Yorkshire Dales scenery is second only to Scotland.
    The quality of food in them small independent grocery shops is superb, and they ave took full advantage by buying from them as much as possible.
    Their two bikes they med me carry about were not used apart from getting to the station in Pickering, so thanks fer that.
    Himself an me enjoy narrow scenic hilly country roads, herself, not so much.

    Till next time.........    Read more
