The Yorkshire Dales

Before leaving Harrogate we did a big shop at the local Morrison's supermarket, stocking the 'van with groceries and all the rest. Fridge/freezer and cupboards are all brimming with goodies as we give Fifi Le Van her 'shake down' for the European adventure ahead.

Crossing Buttertubs Pass from Swaledale to Hawes on a lovely sunny afternoon.

Picture says it all!

On our way crossing the Dales the road takes you past the Ribblehead Viaduct, 400m long with 24 arches and completed in 1874, it was almost closed by British Rail in the 1980's. It is now a Grade 2 listed structure.
