It's surprising what you come across out in the hills
from time to time.
What's likely to go off you think to yourself.
It looked like somebody was really getting a soaking
though whilst we were high in The Dales.
The real scene looked good,
and I'm really pleased with the photograph.
I cropped it slightly from the original,
but I'm not really too sure which is the better.
So I'll place them both on line.
Another 'Watch It Mate' sign on a gate here.
Plenty of interest.
The countryside is untouchable.
We went along the Cat & Fiddle.
The Old Public house is still standing.
It looked good.
I'm certain it looked just like that when I was kid.
It's the second highest Public House in the country.
I located a review which was interesting.
The built in 1830 bit surprised me though.
Quote:
Islotated Robinson’s pub built in 1830 by Macclesfield Banker John Ryle after new A357 completed. At 1690ft asl is 2nd highest pub in UK. Caters for all who venture over the pass with Carvery, Lounge Bar, & Walkers Bar with pool table. 3 Robbies beers in good condition and takes in-house guests. Good food especially the home made pies. Pie & Pint nights are great value at £8-95. Open all day, but closes earlier in winter. Friendly Landlord. Accomodation at nearby Stanley Arms.

I'm quite sure the road is still the most dangerous in the whole of GB.
