I've got 5 days-off now, so will probably drive into North Yorkshire to have have a look at this
Plus, there's a fair few milestones too, if I do a 'loop', ie; up as far as Ingleton, then up the 'Hawes Road', to the viaduct, then back via Horton-in-Ribblesdale
(and the Toll-House, on the A65, at Ingleton, by the 'New Bridge')

'Bernies'
High Street
Ingleton

A long-open cafe
I'll admit it's probably 20+ years since I was last in it, back then it had slotted chairs/benches (like park benches) to let the mud/water fall through
There were caving/climbing posters everywhere

I have to go to York this afternoon, as daughter has a GPs appointment
She's at one of the Universities there, so it's easier to take her, than her look for a parking place

It also means I can drive back a specific way, & try to photograph a few things I saw last time we went

I took her
Some were seen, others forgotten
We came back 'along the back-roads' & had to u-turn at one point, due to the road being flooded (by the River Wharfe)
