Now then, a day late, but better late than never.

So yesterday I went to the Tan Hill Inn in Swaledale, it's accredited as the highest Inn in England and it is!
We set off and had the sat nav rocking with our directions, eventually it told us we were at our destination, when in fact, we were in the middle of a farm track, so Paul asked the farmer where the pub was and he informed us that we were a good 25 minutes away, so we set off again and eventually made it to the pub, we got out the car and was immediately blown by the wind 30 foot to the left, we eventually found our footing and tied our shoelaces to each other, figuring that there would be safety in numbers, we made it to the front door and entered the premises, the first thing I noticed was how warm it was inside, not too hot not too cold, just perfectly snug, I could imagine having 5 or 6 pints and sitting by the log fire and falling asleep, very nice indeed, Everest Windows have certainly done a good job.
£2.80 for a pint of lager is expensive but worth it, word of warning though, there is a sign that says, "Don't expect a lot of change, your money WILL go to charity" I paid with the exact money so I wasn't robbed, but Trelly had a pound taken off him for the charity box, there is also another sign warning you about mobile phones, it's 50p per minute to use or it goes in the pickle jar and there are a few jars on the bar full of mobile phones and pickling vinegar, crazy!
We drained our drink and then went for a walk about round the pub and surrounding area, the wind had got worse and luckily we were carrying boat anchors to save us from blowing away, the wind was really powerful, at one point Trelly took off like a kite!!
Trelly took some pictures as we froze our knackers off, it was so cold up there that I saw a brass monkey crying his eyes out and the flame on my lighter froze!
We eventually got back in the car and set off, the pub is the only thing for miles around, which makes the neighbour hood watch sign very amusing, although it would be slightly ironic if the landscape got stolen over night!
All in all, a very nice pub and I'd advise you to go and try it, have a day out, go rambling, stop for a pint and some food, just make sure you have plenty of change otherwise they'll nick all your shiny pennies.
