Hi from Swaledale

[Catherine Calvert]

Couldn't figure out how to make a post - not sure if I wanted to create a thread but here goes anyway. You may have guessed I'm new to on-line forums sorry if this is in the wrong place - I may get the hang soon !

Hi Catherine - welcome to CC!

I had a holiday in Swaledale once (delayed due to work pressure during June-October). We ended up in a caravan in Keld at the start of November and there was a blizzard the first night! I had to walk from Keld to a little village shop in Muker (or was it Thwaite?) in foot-deep snow. It did seem a lovely part of the world, though very isolated. I went back there on my bike one sunny day and that confirmed it.

PS Swaledale sheep are my favourites!

Sounds like home!! Are you coming up for 'Le Tour', the route comes right through Muker. You're right about the Swaledale Sheep - they're propper ones - a leg in each corner, a good coat and a pair of handles.

Lucky you, Swaledale! Lovely countryside.

No, I'll be watching it here in Hebden Bridge - it passes a few hundred yards from my house on day 2!

I'd love to watch in the Dales too, but I think about half a million people will probably descend on you and the roads will be completely clogged.
