Turn left at Hawes down the B6255 and you end up in Ribblesdale where the limestone is white, the fells are green, the sky is blue and there's never anyone about because they've all gone down a great big hole, many of them actually on purpose I understand.
Just hiked over from Mopsa's with a question; Talking of pop bottles, when you were a lad, did your Mum send you out in a morning with a pop bottle of cold tea and a butty wrapped in greaseproof and say "Don't come back 'til dark"?
I didn't know, until I clicked on that wiki link, that members of the public could be winched to the bottom Gaping Gill a couple of times a year. Here I come!
totty, thanks for visiting. Sctually only the mill owners children could affors cold tea, and if you had greasepaper,well, you were lucky!
YP, you right, that's why I haven't been gone home yet
Your royal desert majesty, though a deep dark cold wet hole might sound attractive six months is a long time to wait untill they come back and winch you out again

More likely... "Don't come back till you're twenty one!"
