Any fancy a cheap trip to the Dale's? Cracking value. Jump on the bus, few beers and a bite to eat and pop on the bus back.

That is a brilliant service
 
Two and a half hours on a 'bus after 'a few beers' might be a challenge.
My mates have done the Whitby bus and a few beers. Coming back they had to jump off a number of times, eventually too late for the last bus and ended up getting a cab back from Guisborough. I've no idea what bus would have dropped them off there in the first place.
 
Time for a pint in Hawes, then a couple of hours in Kirby Lonsdale, time for a toilet stop in Hawes on the return journey should set you up for the last leg ok. If struggling you can always get off at Darlo station and then pick up the X66 (i think) for another £2, or a train if needs must. Or just get off elsewhere en route for a variation, plenty of options for a good afternoon on the Old Peculier.

Alternatively you could go to A&E the day before travel and try to persuade them to fit a catheter 😉
 
I would like to go to scotch corner one day. All my life I've seen roadsigns to it but have never been there. I imagine it as a mystical place like Camelot. It's odd that it signifys home to me, despite never having been there.

Oh dear Col. I am at the age where all my days out are planned around toilet availability. I would love to take the bus but bladder is the master. So for me it's take the car at the expense of the environment and don't drink.

You should make the effort. Everyone parks up at the hotel and goes to the far right angle and drinks whiskey. Dunno why its called scotch corner like
 
Haha yeah right a skinful (three punts these days) a bus and a moors road. What could go wrong? Its the stuff japanese game shows are made of

It's located at the junction of the A1, historically the great north road, and the A66, the main east west route in England. If you were going to Edinburgh, you continued on the A1, if you were going to Glasgow or the west of Scotland, you turned on to the A66. So, Scotch Corner.

I've mentioned the roads' 20th century numbers, Scotch Corner was a stage coach stop long before the modern roads had numbers.

I live very close. We have tourists of all persuations stop and ask for directions. Very confusing to them that a roundabout is signposted for miles around.
