Very, very, well done indeed, Roger. Marvelous piece of work in gathering together the song, the route and the walk. I managed all the research but only managed the full route on wheels. I hope my little bit did help your adventure.

Final bit of assistance - Blue clicky to the link you posted.

Thinking about who now owns the scrapyard. Maybe Mary's son, that she bounced upon her knee, has come down from Dundee to claim his inheritance :-)

If anyone else fancies the challenge but lacks transport, get in touch with me and, if possible, I will try to help. I am only an hours drive from anywhere on the walk. I will not put my contact details on a public forum but many people on here know how to contact me. More than happy to mirror the journey of the ride from somewhere between Bradford and Ilkely to Bolton Abbey and I will still be back in time for tea:-)

Once again, well done Roger and keep up the good work (or good walk?)

Cheers

Dave
