Saunterings is a set of reflections based upon walks around the counties of
Cumbria, Lancashire and
North Yorkshire in North-West England (as defined in the
Preamble).
In Lakes I listed the 200 largest lakes
in North-West England, some of which are in the Yorkshire Dales.
In fairness, I should list the dales of North-West England, some of
which are in the Lake District.
There is no precise definition of a dale.
So I have simply accepted anything on the map named 'dale' that appears
to refer to a valley-like region (and not to, say, a single house).
I've also included a few Vales, Valleys, Gills and Glens from the map, plus
a few dales that may or may not be named as such on the map.
There is no sensible basis for ranking the dales; so
below is an alphabetical list of all the dales in North-West England.
I've squashed it to the left so that
it's readable on mobile phones.
The right-hand column indicates walks in the dale,
the number being a link to a Sauntering visit and a + indicating a
pre-Sauntering visit (as far as I recall).
