Muker, Yorkshire Moors
A few reminders of our weekend
THE USUAL SUSPECTS...
- Barrie "Let's drive through this flood" Astbury
- Charlie "Are you sure? It looks pretty deep" Grant
- Pete "You might make it but it doesn't look like Tim's car will" Smith
- Simon "Do you think we should go the long way around?" Piercy
- Dave "Ahh, go for it Tim - put ya foot down!" Noble
- Tim "Hmmm, I'm not sure about this - oh well... here goes" Spate
The main features of Friday night :- Black Sheep,
Fosters and Shiraz
The Yorkshire Range
The Usual (wet) Suspects
A gloomy outlook ...
... but onwards and upwards we go anyway
More evidence of the rain that's been before... a
more than babbling brook!
And on the return journey the river was running even faster ...
In the afternoon we visited Hawes. (Hmmm ... perhaps I could have phrased that better!) We first had to get the two cars through a flood ...
Tim was a bit unsure but followed Barrie anyway ...
and boy, what a bow wave!!
In the car park there were two lovely looking
Jaguars, old & new
Standing on the bridge you could view the swollen
river torrent (and the next photo is what it's normally like)
The cottage door (and name plate)
Pete tells yet another tall tale... Dave tries his
best to look interested
Barrie can see right up the old chimney ... everyone
else can see right up his nose
Sunday morning, a lovely day ... and before we go
for a short walk, a chance to have a look round Muker
"WATERFALL!!" << Calm down Charlie!
"Oooo! Another one!!"
SEEDY SANCHEZ
... and the now famous and traditional - no,
obligatory Piercy Pot Noodle Pic!
OK it's the end of the walk and as usual, Tim has
not got a single splash of mud on him ... look at those trousers! How does
he do it? 
Pete's state-of-the-ARK technology ... (Barrie is
supporting the table to stop it tipping over with the weight)
... and after that last pint (or two), it was off home.
