Once more unto the breach....

Postby wellerchap » Wed Jun 24, 2015 8:49 pm

['scuse the Vespa in the shots :D ]

Had a spin up north yesterday with ScooterStu...took in the Yorkshire Dales, Tan Hill, then beyond, to Teesside to visit High Force Waterfall....bloody impressive despite the recent dryer weather.
240 miles done, on the smallest of B-roads - and still home before dark.

'onest Mr Farmer - I nivver touched thi wall !
Image

Queen Victoria's headstone....buried here in 1887.
'onest!
Image

Going up in the world again...
Image

The high road down into Hawes - home of Wensleydale cheese.

Image

Over Buttertubs Pass and into West Stonesdale - the stone barns a feature of the Dales
Image

Had a play about with the camera on the Stonesdale hairpin before yet another hillclimb

....someone had thought of this first though...
Image

Once up over Tan Hill we headed into Cumbria briefly before crossing into Teesside to visit High Force - a brilliant water feature, which still looked good despite only being on half power
Image

Image

...and back via the Howgill hills, north of Sedbergh - a cracking day out on the scooter...better for going midweek in school time too - we had most of it to ourselves.

Brilliant pics and my kind of day out on the Lammy :D . Wish I could find more time to do a few rides like this and C2C :( . Going to have to work on the idea of semi-retirement I reckon.

I remember that hairpin bend going up to Tan Hill. In your pics, it looks easier than it is 8-)

Yes - that's the effect the wide-angle lens has - it tends to flatten things...had I used the big zoom lens it would have looked great, but to get all that in I'd have needed to have been stood in the next field but one :D
