The Diversion Was Worth It

[Merab]

Currently away from home on a training course. The road over the Pennines was closed because of snow so we had to take a detour.
It was beautiful driving over the tops.

Wow, beautiful sights.

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

Lovely! No snow here, though we've had 2 quite frosty mornings.

 

[Swissgreys]

Gorgeous.
Nothing beats snow and blue skies.

 

[Flutterby]

Stunning pictures!

 

[Merab]

Sadly no snow on the way home today - but no traffic hold ups either

 

[HeatherW]

It's not all grim up north!

Aw, very similar landscape

 

[Merab]

It is. I’ve driven the A59 when we lived in Yorkshire.
I love the wildness of the Pennines

We plan on retiring to the Yorkshire Wolds - a beautiful part of Yorkshire.
Only 5 years and 6 months to go!

Wharram Percy and Sledmere spring to mind, love both and the countryside is stunning around there

 

[Merab]

Yes - we’re really looking forward to living there.
It’s still fairly untouristy so a peaceful part of Yorkshire

Yes it is unspoilt and not as busy as the Dales and North York Moors. I love the chalk landscapes, quite unusual for Yorkshire. A strip runs from Flamborough Head down into the wolds. Chalk streams are amazingly clean as the water is filtered as it runs of over the chalk beds. I also love the rolling countryside, a lovely part of the world.
