Indeed a beautiful and intriguing part of North Yorkshire. Must try and watch that.
I've never understood the naming of these things: why isn't the valley called 'Uredale' rather than Wensleydale? Why, when the Ure and Swale join up with Ouse Gill Beck (a tiny stream), is the 'new' river called the Ouse?

Oh well, beware the ides of March .....
