Darkness in Horton-in-Ribblesdale

[JasonC]

Here's a thing.... if you look at Google street view in the Horton vicinity, you see... nothing.  Just the blackness of the abyss - eg:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.1484863,-2.2952987,3a,75y,71.83h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sQl4G6s4Us-6YUeNTztnugw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo2.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DQl4G6s4Us-6YUeNTztnugw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D60.734592%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656

I'm a little concerned, as I'm going there today, and as everyone knows, what Google says is unfailingly true....

I think you'll be OK as long as you take the B6479

You can certainly put all your trust in Google Earth. Looking at street view, there's been a white van parked outside our house for weeks now, but can I get the local police to come out and investigate? Disgusting treatment of us local taxpayers!

Has someone's dig gone a bit more than they expected it to?

The Horton Black Hole is still there ...
Starts here (going South)
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.1774044,-2.3341022,3a,75y,123.51h,78.54t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sRMIQN4eGKHEeMhfp09RWaw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
... and continues all the way down the road to Settle.

Still, I can report that the structure of space/time does not appear unduly affected by this anomaly.

... and it's still there (or rather, not there), 16 months later.  What have Google got against Horton ?

 

[Ian Ball]

Looking back in time helps. Don't speed through the darkness! Mobile speed cameras rule the roost there

 

[Speleotron]

It starts right at the point where the Long Churn track starts!

Solved. I've checked the date the Google drove through Horton - and there was a partial eclipse in Yorkshire that day

That's actually the Yorkshire Hole. It's where all the miserable attitudes of Yorkshire folk comes from. All the miserable bastards go there at least once a week

In the real world... Horton isn't always dark.

That webcam is so useful - you can watch any flood come through and get an idea of whether the water is rising or on the wane.
