We read so many 'hints and tips' before we left and I can honestly say half of them are common sense and the rest are a waste of time. Because of these useless tips I took with me a door wedge to apparently keep a door shut, pegs for a washing line and Laura took a travel hair drier. Here's, hopefully, a better list of things to take and things to do: - 1. Take a penknife - It will be by far the most useful thing on the trip. When the hostel doesn't have a tin opener and no one offers their teeth to open a beer, a trust worthy Swiss Army knife will be your best friend. 2.

We first of all went to village called Holmfirth, which is where the TV show Last of the Summer is shot on location. There are quite a few places around where they shoot the exterior and even some interior scenes, in particular Sid’s Cafe. We had a good walk around the village and had some breakfast at a greasy spoon before we headed off to the shops. We went to a mill shop and bought a few items in there.
