The journey was spectacular - we both agreed - Wensleydale and the Lune valley at their very best. The fields were full of buttercups just coming into flower and the roadsides were thick with bistort and with glorious ox-eye daisies.
I took photographs on the way. No point in saying where they are - suffice to say they are in beautiful North Yorkshire Dales. Enjoy.

You live in a beautiful area.
Thank you for the wonderful photos.
cheers, parsnip
wonderful empty roads and it all looks beautiful
Beautiful scenery on a perfect day. I am recalling the Yorkshire Garden at Chelsea this year - the man who created it captured the character of his home county so well. So pleased he won a Gold Medal and the People's Choice medal.
Some beautiful scenery. Is that Ingleborough in the distance? X
How wonderful to see these photos of your beautiful North Yorkshire Dales! I especially love the pictures with the rock walls. You live in a piece of heaven!
Beautiful, beautiful trip, Pat. Thanks for the buttercups, and the chat.
I see the stocks are still in situ on the green in Bainbridge. I used to live in the house at the far end just beyond the cars in the photograph.
That is the perfect day, Pat.
Those pictures are stunning. What a treat to see - thank you.
An everyday drive in the Dales.
Aaaah... you make me sigh with longing for my second home, Pat! Those buttercups are simply gorgeous.
Lovely photos of my birth place Yorkshire. Albeit it were Barnsley!
Lovely.
Looks beautiful, the buttercups run in ribbons here next to the sown fields but the cloud refuses to lift.
Beautiful countryside.
Sue - the green always looks pristine - apart from when the travellers pass through on their way to Appleby Horse Fair - then sometimes it is left less than perfect. Just a few of them tend to get all a bad name sadly.
Glad you all enjoyed the journey. The photos are a bit blurred but friend W only slowed down rather than stopping - it is too dangerous as the roads are not quite as empty as these photos suggest.
Simply glorious. Our ox eye daisies are in full bloom right now in Washington state - and it is a great year for them - giant swaths all along the hiways - they look like massive mounds of snow - thick and white - and they go on sometimes for miles - it is fabulous.
