Dales Days

YC spent a couple of days in the Yorkshire Dales. He travelled there on the Carlisle to Settle railway line which he can recommend as a scenic trip. The weather wasn't great (it rained off and on), but this gave ample opportunity for training on beer and fish & chips - the fellrunner's version of the Atkin's diet.

Here is a photo of the impressive Ribblehead viaduct.

And for all the train enthusiasts, here are a couple of photos of the picturesque Garsdale Station - accessible from Hawes by the village bus for a bargain fare of £2.60.
