Northern Exile Feb 2023 9:55am, 18 Feb 2023 9,444 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile It was mayhem around here yesterday, what was it like in YOUR corner of Yorkshire? Lots of car damage around Harrogate and the villages, I saw this yesterday on my way back from swim training: thestrayferret.co.uk
Northern Exile Feb 2023 9:58am, 18 Feb 2023 9,445 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile BTW fellow Yorkshire-dwellers, I am moving! After years of house and soul-searching, we have found another suitable Exile gaff, well away from the madding crowd and in a location where I can't do much harm. It's perilously close to the Lancashire border though and I confess to a degree of unease about this Anyone else in this situation? I'm thinking barbed wire coils, sandbags and a machine gun emplacement. Advice welcome.

Cerrertonia Feb 2023 11:56am, 18 Feb 2023 18,437 posts	Quote Pin Cerrertonia We had a few chairs blown over, but nothing too serious, and having planned to spend a day out doing indoor stuff, ended up doing some walking in Dentdale and a second walk by the Ribblehead viaduct. We did pick up a German lady hitchhiking on the way back to Hawes - she'd walked 30 miles, going over Pen-y-ghent in pretty severe winds and clearly wasn't going to get to her bunkhouse before dark.
Meglet Feb 2023 1:29pm, 18 Feb 2023 23,332 posts	Quote Pin Meglet I’m in Harrogate. Back fence and gate are down, when I didn’t even know they were at risk. Side fence, which was more likely to go, is still standing but not sure for how long. Have contacted four fencers so far with only one response.
