We spent the day out and about taking in the spectacular views, doing some laundy - well actually having it done for us while we continued sightseeing and shopping in Darlington. Darlington is a great market town with shops and a great sense of community. The people were very friendly there and the town area which is a pedestrian mall is very attractive. When there are no cars allowed in the Town Centre, planners have free reign to design areas that are very pleasing to people. We passed the River Ure, so Ron had to take a picture for his friend Dave - undernoted centre shot. Catterick (the place we got the laundry done) is the centre for the Defence Support Group, so we found it interesting to find the sign Tanks Crossing 100 yds on the road, we had to take a picture.
Stayed at the Punch Bowl tonight which is a sister hotel to the CB Inn - only 5 minutes up the country road, but with entirely different views of the Dales. Some pictures below show the landscape - I think you'll agree it's pretty. Breakfast was a treat, but I had to pass on most of it, I'm just about done with the full English Breakfast, tee hee. The rooms in this hotel were lovely also, but the outstanding feature is the location of this hotel - isolated and majestic.
