I could have walked to another station from Commondale but I'd have still had to come back by train to collect it properly. Those are the rules. <br /><br />Also, I didn't actually mean "flinty" in the sense of "made of flint" - I meant "sharp and grey and hard". "Sandstoney" isn't a real thing!Scott Willisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284196034782356946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329761583210135212.post-54812272561139349882013-09-02T07:03:32.245+01:002013-09-02T07:03:32.245+01:00You could easily have walked to both Castleton and...You could easily have walked to both Castleton and Danby in two hours! <br /><br />And while (Pedant's Corner) you're of course right about the landscape's beauty, it's technically sandstone-y rather than flinty (I'll get me coat).<br /><br />Fact-ette; Middlesbrough station used to have a splendid overall roof that was bombed in WW2. Maybe that's why the staff are grumpy?Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329761583210135212.post-70141806128717390742013-09-01T20:17:43.368+01:002013-09-01T20:17:43.368+01:00As one that is cursed to pass through Middlesbroug...As one that is cursed to pass through Middlesbrough station every day, I find the station staff there the rudest and least helpful in the North.Brucenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329761583210135212.post-589508712771647912013-09-01T13:14:56.298+01:002013-09-01T13:14:56.298+01:00Kildale sounds a lot like Middlewood on the Buxton...Kildale sounds a lot like Middlewood on the Buxton line. Middlewood is in the middle of a wood (well...park, but that doesn't sound as funny). I couldn't see a road for ages, so I just snapped my picture and got a train going in the opposite direction. I'm clearly not as adventurous as you...The Shillitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245911585697163088noreply@blogger.com
