A misty Day on the Dales
Our last day in Thirsk, and we were off to drive through the Yorkshire Dales. This is the countryside that Alf Wight (James Herriot) worked in as a vet. The landscape is magnificent and the old dry-stone walls give the place an ancient feel.
Above, one of the many stone bridges over the clear streams and rivers.
Below, a field of sheep, close to a geocache, being watched by an anonymous wombat.
The sheep were curious
Probably wondering if I was a small brown sheep
But look, what could possibly be under this natually arranged pile of stones? Well a geocache of course, they are often found under piles of stones, supposedly for "camoflage"
With the cache taken care of some more driving and...
A visit to Richmond Castle, which was a pleasnt break in the journey back to thirsk.
Tomorrow we are off to Edinburgh... Scotland.... I feel an urge to wear a kilt and paint half my face blue.... why is that ?
