Preparing these posts from photos and a few unintelligible notes on an I-Phone presents a few challenges. Do I report every trip, every pub ? Do you really want to read about a workaday smartish Thwaites diner in a workaday village on the edge of the Dales ? Perhaps you do; I don’t care. … Continue reading THE UNPREPARED DALES PUBMAN
