I hadn't planned to stay in the Yorkshire dales but I changed my mind when I saw the stone walls, the pretty villages and the views. I've done one fairly long walk, from the village of Malham where I was staying. The views were fantastic but it was very windy up on the exposed moors (where the photo was taken). Driving in the dales is great. Not only is it picturesque but the roads undulate a lot, which makes for a roller coaster type ride. Today I went on the Settle-Carlisle railway, which is considered to be one of the most scenic train trips in the UK. It was great sitting back and relaxing on the train. I spent a couple of hours in Carlisle, which is near the Scottish border. I spent most of that time at the castle, which worked out well as it was pouring with rain and most of the sites were indoors.
