Perhaps not to everyone's taste but this is just up my street as I adore the Yorkshire Dales and having no annoying presenter even better. Anybody joining me?

My husband & I have been on this bus a few times & the scenery is breathtaking.. the bus doesn't finish at Ingleton, it runs to Morecambe up the Lune Valley, but I suppose the programme is only concerned with the Yorkshire journey... in the paper it does mention concessions ,but this has been discontinued this year, no bus passes can be used, but it's still a small amount to pay for such a ride.. & as you say no presenters !!!

Luck you. Where do you board the bus rose and do you go all the way? Is it expensive?

I have driven over the moors to Hawes from Pateley Bridge many times and it's stunning. In fact, anywhere in North Yorkshire is a joy.

A bit more about it in the Radio Times.

Didn't realise this was on, so thanks. I will definitely be watching it!

We go from near Lancaster to Richmond, but you can get off at any of the little villages, have a walk & catch the bus on the way back..we used to be able to use bus passes, but I think it will be about £6 or £7 now, which is well worth it.

Sounds a bargain to me. Those views are priceless.

Thought a few more would be watching it though. A real treat.

Thanks for mentioning this ladybirder. Am watching now and it's fascinating. Stunning scenery and snippets of interesting facts along the way. Have been discovering parts of the dales over the summer so is a great reminder.:)
