dales

Just like in Maxwell's theory of hills and dales: the location of topographic peaks, saddles etc.

Walking up on the high moors in the Dales in Yorkshire you see the shadows first, moving up the valley floor.

Notably, this is literally almost in the exact center of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Once safely in custody, the Dales will quietly plead guilty to vastly reduced charges.

Even if they decide to give up and go and become shepherds in the Dales or something, how many of them are there?

With a good naming convention to avoid false positives (forcing subsquent dales to add a distinguishing letter) this system would be very reliable.

For instance, I like to hike, and two places very close to me are the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors national parks.

During the lockdowns when people were getting arrested for going outside there was a joke going around; a policeman stopped God in the Yorkshire Dales and asked him 'What do you think you're doing?

Hah, I remember that, good times." I do have a plan at some point to make a big map of the moors & dales for my wall, with my favourite routes (from events or personal outings) marked on, the tracking data will be useful for that if it can be made to integrate nicely with whatever I end up using to draw the main map.

Not just directly from York: there are many trains stopping both here and Leeds, giving us, for example, indirect-but-easy access to some of the north further west (smaller lines to/through Shipley/Keighley/Skipton, Ilkley/Settle/Carlisle) which I find handy when I want to go run around the Dales, and that people from those areas presumably find handy for access to the east coast main line North & South.
