managed to get to Hawes...

I caught the train to Riblehead and then cycled the 10 miles to Hawes
along the way, there were motorbikes zipping past every couple of
minutes

I did not bother cycling the 25 mile route from my book, as I had to
cycle back to Ribblehead
for the train and it has been nearly a year since I rode any great
distance, and indeed since
I have been on my bike...

Well done. How bad are the aches and pains?

Last time I was up that way I got the train to Ribblehead and rode down
to Ingleton to meet up with some friends.

Nice countryside apart from the m/c attempting to join the scenery.

no real aches and pains, just slightly tender whilst walking
I slept for ages last night...

I noticed the signs to Ingleton, I remember talk of Ingleton Caves when
I was younger,
and the road goes on to Lancaster, a city I fell in love with when I
visited it last year...

I'm looking forward to travelling the country and camping this
summer...

I found a good campsite for £3.50 per night, and I wil cycle the
journey from Blackburn
to Hawes in about 3 weeks time...

I dislike people setting forums up, purporting to be full of 'original'
content, yet they are selecting posts from various camping, caravanning,
cycling etc newsgroups and editing the contents and threads to suit their
own purposes.
