Great race as ever Brett. Don't be put off by the dour, obnoxious publican, he's just trying to be a Yorkshireman
Nice to beat RR again (despite doing 3 peaks at the weekend) and to bump into Millipede, Daleside, shout briefly at Sunnysideup, and enjoy the hospitality of the Smales (Chris, JJ and of course the little Jolivers)
See you all at the real White Lion.
The landlord is a pxxxxxk!
We walked to Lothersdale from home with our kids last year and he wouldn't let us use the beer garden to let them play and more importantly keep them safe. We had to use the tables at the front which, as you know, back onto the road. B wording grump!

A tale that I told one or two last night:
We live close to Lothersdale and were in the H&H one evening having a meal when we overheard a conversation between one of the local farmer's lads and the landlord's daughter.
"Where's your dad?"
"Upstairs. Best place for him!"
"Eh!?"
"He's upset three customers already tonight", it was about 8:30, "Those two women outside with the horses annoyed him, he doesn't like animals"
"Well, what's he doing in a country pub? Why didn't he go for a town pub?"
"Oh, he doesn't like people either"!!!
Says it all really. It's just a pity that it's our local.
