So, my time here has finally come to an end, and I'm pretty sad. I've had mostly good times here, especially with the ability to quickly go to nice areas, the Yorkshire Dales, Peak District, Shap ! That was a long drive. I still haven't made the drive I have been thinking of doing to Teeside. I first thought of that in 2000 ? When driving across the Eastern part of the Dales I couuld see the smoke from the steel and chemical works on the skyline, and the faint outline of the North York Moors. Good memories;
