"On Ilkley Moor Ba'Tat"
Bush Tucker Man:
I had a run up over here whilst I was over in Wharfedale this morning.
I'd been to Otley to take some assorted photos for the 'WebShots'.
I also suffered the indignity of a flat-tyre in the high-street.
Still after changing it & treating myself to dinner at the Wharfe View Cafe I headed over into Ilkley for some more photos.
Once they were taken I headed up the steep 'White Wells Road' & onto the Moor road.
No Off-Road Drivingsigns bordered the route in places. I'd checked the status of the road with Bradford Council a couple of days ago (still a public road, not even a RUPP)
I saw only 2 walkers up there, both smiled & waved :shock:
It's getting slightly washed out part of the way, but once the top is reached it's a wonderful view over Wharfedale & just right for the flask & buns :D
I realise that it's not very 'gung-ho' stuff, but it's a public road, so best behaviour....
Keighley Road
gords:
That looks great :D How far does the road go for? I must get up to that area sometime :)
Bush Tucker Man:
It's not very long Gordon, just click on the 'Keighley Road'.
It's just a beautiful area up there :D
This is a nice little area a few miles away from Ilkley Moor. I took Andy over there last year

1. Because I gave you very little notice
2. You'd have got sick of me diving across roads to take photographs
3. You'd have come in handy to change my tyre :lol:
4. It would have been 'your shout' at the Wharfe View Cafe

Couldn't agree more, I could see the Lido, suspension foot-bridge, 'The White House',Almscliffe Crag, etc........ from up there.
Still didn't get a good picture of 'The White Swan', checked them when I got home & they were blurred(?!) bar the stable entrance
