I’ve never been here before. It’s a lovely little dale and Dent is a good
place to stop for a cuppa.

Rain rain and more rain

The promised fine morning was washed away within a few minutes of
leaving Hawes. The inclines on the road to Ingleton soon warm up my
muscles. No gentle warm up like the one I enjoyed yesterday on the
road to Kettlewell.
So now I’m in Dent. A quaint cobbled street runs through the heart of
the village. There’s a station too – several miles out – and this
viaduct carries the tracks of the Settle – Carlisle railway to it.
Day 2 begins

Setting out for Dent. This is the guest house I stayed at overnight. Ebor House
in Hawes. Excellent and good value.
Fine this morning. And may stay that way till lunchtime.
End of the day

The heavens opened as I arrived on Hawes so I turned up at my B&B
looking like a drowned rat.
I put the bike into the basement, had a shower and walked into the
town for a meal.
The people in this pub, The White Hart, were really friendly so after my meal I stayed
for another pint.
Now I’m turning in for bed and looking forward to tomorrow.
Thanks for all the messages of encouragement – really apprecited.

This is where the series was filmed – Askrigg. Just a few miles from
my stop for the night. It’s starting to rain again so I wish I was there
now although I’m not particularly tired.
