A lane to Dean At this point, at the top of a steep hill, there is a sign "Unsuitable for HGVs". True enough, but what on earth are they expected to do? There is nowhere to turn, and over 500 metres to reverse. And I saw no such warning for HGVs coming from Dean and going north. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5320396">NY0626 : The lane from Dean to Greysouthen</a> is taken from exactly the same spot, but looking in the opposite direction (i.e. north).

Field path heading towards Dean The path connects the small Cumbrian villages of Dean and Ullock; there's little trace of an actual route on the ground and it seems to be little used.

The Royal Yew at Dean The tree growing outside the pub, (and obscuring the name), is a fine old example of a yew. One wonders whether the name is an old, traditional one or if it's been changed, as a play on the term 'The Royal We'!
