    Hi Christina, I just found you today. What a lovely video. When I was a little girl my grand parents took me on a ramble to that Brontë house. I was underwhelmed that we had walked all that way just to see a broken down old building. Your video took me back to that memory. Thank you. Happy Travels.❤

    Lovely video. May is great. She has been running the farm shop since 1974 and also offers camping for free on a patch of grass just across the road from the shop.

    I'm really enjoying watching you hike along the Pennine Way.
    Sorry you had a bad morning when leaving Hebden Bridge. Hopefully, you'll have a better time of it for the rest of your journey.
    To your question about Yorkshire greetings: it is quite normal for the area and other northern areas of England to ask,'You alright?' or 'Alright love?' as a greeting. The second is usually being more familiar or asked to women a bit more.
    I can see how this might seem disconcerting to people who aren't used to the phrase. Also, I wouldn't have accepted the drink from the person in the pub either! Whilst there's lots of friendly people in Yorkshire, it always pays to keep your wits about you no matter where you are in the world.
    I loved seeing your footage of Top Withens. I've never been there myself, but I do love Haworth, so hopefully, I'll get to see it one day.
    Good luck with the rest of your hike!

    That old lady at May's looks lovely. She seemed to have taken a shine to you. You're teaching and showing me stuff I didn't know about the part of the world I grew up in that I didn't know. Fancy that, hey? An American teaching a Brit about Britain. You're doing a great service. Have some rest days though. You deserve them.

    So pleased you were able to experience some proper Pennine weather (no views😂) - unfortunately you’ve also had to endure the worst of England (grafitti and litter etc) trail just keeps getting better and better the further north of hebden bridge you get. I look forward to the rest of your adventure! Bon chance!

    Mays farm shop was there in 1982 when I first hiked the PW. It still looked exactly the same when I backpacked the route for the 5th time a couple of years ago. Good to see that some things over change. You'll have an easier day or so from Ickornshaw through to Malham before you really get into the Yorkshire Dales where the scenery changes again.

    This is amazing. Pennine way in October is a real challenge. Up north there are number of greetings that can seem about bizarre, but are quite normal - from ‘love’ to ‘darling’ to ‘pet’ and even ‘me duck’. Best of luck.

    Sorry to hear that Hebden Bridge was not what you liked, maybe the town was just to large. I hope that it was made up for by the nice helpful lady in the shop. Christina the filming is great with so many autumn colours, nice to be greeted so warmly at your last stop for the night. Do take care and Best Wishes. Andrew.

    Hiya!,
    Love is a perfectly normal greeting around Yorkshire 😊.
    I'm from the local area and although I don't say it as I think it is a bit old fashioned, it is used a lot! Hope you are enjoying the aire gap - you have some right treats to come in the next few days!

    After finding the Co-op closed, I'm sorry to say the sign you walked past on the next building made me chuckle. It was like a prophecy!
    Glad you got sorted at May's. She's so sweet. It's such a fantastic place. Ikornshaw Moor seems to go on for ever. The shed at the campsite was a real bonus.
    The "alright love" is very much a North of England Yorkshire/Lancashire thing. The guy offering you a drink of his beer is a bit odd (unless you were having a full on conversation about real ale)

    The day got better for you Christina from the food and tea from the farm shop to just arriving at your accommodation just as the rain arrived, are you all right luv is a common northern english saying, what does the awkward person staying in your room expect staying in a shared dorm room in a hostel, it's not like staying in a hotel room, please watch what you are doing when walking on the limestone above Malham Cove, if the stone is wet it will be extremely slippery, we don't want you falling and getting injured.

    What a good end to the day after a miserable time in Hebden.It's become too touristy for my liking..The term "luv" used to be very common in Yorkshire but used less nowadays.Older people use it a lot still.May said "Nice meeting yer luv".A food Takeaway shop owner once addressed me as "Luvvy luv".

    Christina you are awesome. Editing each day's video as you go and they are so well done too. How many go pro batteries and battery banks do you carry? Do you have a back up camera? I have 6 batteries which usually only last maybe 2-3 days. Your next few days into Yorkshire Dales and Teesdale will be amazing. It is so beautiful. Good luck, we're rooting for you.
