    My new fav UA-cam couple. Proper down to earth. I came here for van life but I’m captivated by your pub life. Real pints and real people.

    I can understand why Helen loves to hike, and enjoys the outdoors. Obviously, she works really hard in a most intense profession.I would imagine it’s hard to switch off from such responsibilities. I suspect that’s why you both get on so well.👍

    As a former Guard, I can answer your question as to why the driver sounds the horn. Along the Hope valley there are un-controled crossing points and a warning must be given. If you travel by train you may see a sign with a W on it. This is a reminder to the driver to sound the horn. In the old days it used to say Whistle on a wooden board, this is a throwback to steam days. The horn is also sounded as an acknowledgement to a hand signal or a warning to anyone working outside along the railway. The railway never sleeps.

    Hi,
    As always lovely to see you two together, if you see this comment and get a chance to reply can you let me know the name of the restaurant/pub you had your breakfast in in Longshaw, the food looked lovely. Have you ever thought of having a get together of your subscribers in the summer? Anyway stay safe on your travels, we enjoy learning about places we can stay over night.

    • @bythecurb
