Rolling road block in Wensleydale

The joy of the open road as it curves it scenic route through that great North Yorkshire valley of Wensleydale, well up to a point.

Suicide bikers, caravans, camper vans, flat cap 4×4 drivers afraid of bumps, small hatchbacks who think they are an lorry, then the scent of the open road..clouds bubbling over the dales and then brake as the gate is opened and the herd is heading for the parlour.

hair, make up, quick gossip about the sheep in the next field, hooves polished and the odd gallon of milk donated.
