Along the A682 to Lancashire on a Sunny Day

What a strange title for a posting.  The purpose of my journey was to collect the final three cladding panels from Central Sheet Metals at Burnley where they had had modifications made.  I met the metal maestro who had made all of the panels for Terminal 2.   Hardly any two panels were the same.  Here he is, Colin Tyler, manoeuvring the largest panel into the Shogun:





















There and back on England's most dangerous road. the A682.  Going out of North Yorkshire towards Gisburn there is a nasty Z bend in a valley.  This is the barely readable sign on the approach:





















About 50 yards further on is a speed limit repeater sign:






















Small wonder this road kills people.   In the valley below are scattered debris from past accidents, too difficult to recover. Shame on North Yorkshire County Council, presumably.  Or is it the Highways Agency?  Who knows?


Browsing through Facebook, as you do, I came across this lovely posting from the Co-op garage in Settle.  The flowers are in the gateway to Settle church graveyard, right opposite the garage:





















What a lovely gesture.  Settle's that sort of place.
