Great pics but the commentary was even better. You're a funny guy English Bloke!

JOHN:
Great picture, thanks. Since you included pics of the Ribblehead Viaduct, I will add that the Carlisle to Settle railway is definitely a worthwhile journey.
I had a laugh that the pub was closed, I found that happened at 2 pubs in the Northumberland/Durham border area in January.

The last time I was over Alex and I took a run from Carlisle to Settle and back (train geeks that we are). The Ribblehead Viaduct (and indeed the entire trip) is fantastic and the Yorkshire Dales are truly unique to me.

Thanks for the pics John. Luv'ed 'em.

Now I have to FIND a cheesemonger.

guid oan ya John... bring a wee bit o' that cheese when ya come tae visit!

[English Bloke]

I will Robertson. I shall bring some Lancashire cheese too. All of the seven Lancashire cheesemakers are within 10 miles of my house.

Thanks to everyone else for the kind comments. As everyone seems to like cheese so much, I'll do this Lancashire Cheese Trail in the summer and post some pictures for your delectation. Unfortunately I'll probably be unable to post you some cheese.

Really beautiful countryside. If I ever get there I might not come back here!

Great pics John. I really like these picturesque outings to old places and countryside.
Skål!

Great looking day out English Bloke, I love seeing those museum displays where you get a glance into the not too distant past and memories suddenly come flooding back. Also great to see that you and your son are great mates. As for the cheese, she that must be obeyed, would be drooling for some of your locally produced ones. Cheers

Thank you for sharing, despite the weather, I would imagine it was a great day for both you and your son

Now I have to FIND a cheesemonger.

Well after asking around and being pointed to a gourmet cheese shop in a local grocery I came home with this:




Yes, I took a picture of cheese...and it's GOOD too!

[English Bloke]
