I haven't done it yet, but I'd love to - apparently it's one of the best!

I'm always glad to please

However, that service on the 113 doesn't run on Thursdays (and there isn't one for a couple of hours, sadly). Perhaps we could get the last bus to somewhere like Aysgarth, and overnight there?

 

[DanTrain]

Serves me right for being lazy and not changing the day (assuming all week days are the same!)

In which case, we have very little option other than to board the 17:32 Upper Wensleydale Community Partnership service 156 to Aysgarth, opp War Memorial, arriving at 17:30 Thursday afternoon.

 

[backontrack]

After exploring Aysgarth and the Falls, we find somewhere to pitch our tent and bed down for the night. The next day, we notice that there are only eastbound buses until ten, so we board the 08:37 Little White Bus route 156 bus service to Wensley Waterfalls (where there are options to head both west and east), arriving there at 09:07 on Friday morning.

 

[DanTrain]

Without much option to head west of Hawes till later in the day, we instead decide to take the 10:14 Upper Wensleydale Community Partnership service 156 to Leyburn, adj Marlket Place, arriving at 10:17 Friday morning.

 

[backontrack]

Next, we board the 10:47 Dales & District route 159 bus service to Downholme (The Vicarage), arriving there at 11:02 on Friday morning.

 

[DanTrain]

Here, we board the 12:17 Upper Wensleydale Community Partnership service 30 to Muker, Wayside Farm, arriving at 12:55 Friday afternoon.

 

[backontrack]

I was hoping that you'd choose this bus up Swaledale!

We then board the 13:35 Little White Bus route 30 bus service to Reeth (Anvil Square, Memorial), arriving there at 14:05 on Friday afternoon.
