PDML micro meet, tha knows
To the bottom of Yorkshire to meet up with Mark! and Lisa, who are walking the southernmost part of the Pennine Way. I can report that both are remarkably fit and well three days into their trek, not the shambling, exhausted wreck I would be these days. Communications are, at best, intermittent so messages are unlikely until they get back to civilisation. Not only electronic - Lisa was mildly distressed at being unable to understand the local dialect. Lord help her when she gets to Northumberland. Most of them could converse happily with Vikings. We managed to find pub food after discovering that all the cafes in Hebden Bridge closed at tea time and the most of the restaurants were closed for holidays, thus preserving Yorkshire's magnificent reputation for hospitality. We were entertained by the traditional singalong to the 80's hits on the jukebox. T'choir were in fine voice, 'appen. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I don't know who made the judgment or how other towns have developed in the intervening years but I can confidently state that Hebden Bridge's funkiness continues unabated.
