  1. I'm doing a Saunders too.
    I start a new job in the Dales next week. I won't have internet access
    for most of the time - just the odd weekend when I'm elsewhere - so I
    won't really have the time to go through the weekly hundreds
    (sometimes thousands) of posts in the various ngs that I look at.
    I'll be looking in for the remainder of this week, then come the
    weekend it's Bye Bye.
    Nice talking to you all - I've got countless bits of useful info about
    walking, computers, etc., and enjoyed your virtual company.

    PS - you're still due a thrashing, Dainty, but I've forgotten why. Do
    you live anywhere near the Dales?

    No, I live near Lincoln and will be very glad to supply my exact postal
    address so I can have the pleasure of your making the travel
    arrangements to receive the comprehensive beating you so richly
    deserve.

    Kray regards

    Ian.

    ps. Spongebob?? Can you hold the camcorder so I can have a photographic
    record for the entertainment of those here and elsewhere who hate the

    Before you go, is that email address (yourgoodself .at. Hey Ho Hell.com) supposed to be valid?. I've
    sent you two emails recently with no reply, it would be useful to know if they arrived...

    I am often to be seen wa*king up and down the Y. Dales. I would be
    happy to point my camcorder through his office window to give everyone a
    larf.

    PS: If you're the new car park attendant at Grassington or Buckden just
    keep an eye on the big silver car, and I might slip you the odd
    shilling......

    I assume you will be taking sickies every week and walking the area....

    been using mobile phone, gprs and a PDA to read & post while in N Wales
    over weekend. However I suspect I can only afford either the phone bill
    or new gear. What a dilemma. Why is life full of hard choices :-(

    Almost. There's no mobile reception, for starters. I won't go into
    details in case my creditors are reading!

    IME *nost* of the interesting hills, and more so the interesting valleys
    are without mobile coverage.
    There is usually coverage on the *tops* of the hills, so use your phone
    while eating dinner there.

    My moby is switched off when out walking, but we were in the George one
    Sunday when a group of walkers came in, with one of their number in an
    exhausted state. They had friends who were due to pick them up, but
    couldn't get a mobile signal, and had to trudge to the pub and beg the
    use of their phone.

    The tenants weren't too happy about not being able to use their mobiles
    locally, either.

    A mast on every hilltop, protected by a cairn covered in razor wire
    around the base is the only answer. ;-)

    Of course, a properly paved path would be essential, to get folk within
    range. Is this to much to ask?

    Twice as long when drunk as when sober, given that double vision is
    likely!

    Not where I'll be. I could make a trip to one, but there won't be
    anything readily available. It's one of those things that I can manage
    without - like Sky (as opposed to sky, which is far more important!).
    Details? Well, I don't mean to be mysterious, but I'm not saying
    anything more than that I'll be doing something enjoyable in a very
    nice spot! That doesn't narrow it down much though...
