What he says ... Thixendale 
Is it Thixendale
Serious question here....
Just how were those "dales" formed?
They're fascinating in a rather strange way.

A lovely area. The valleys are dry, ie no rivers along the bottom of them. Formed by glacial action in the ice ages.
Another one for Thixendale
Yep, it has to be thixendale. And your spot on Micky with your glacial hypothesis. Most of the yorkshire Wolds is made up that way.
It has to be one of my favourite little roads.
Cheers Dave.

Micky's old enough to remember them being formed!

Whereas you were only there later to witness the glacial melt dry up and drain through the permeable rock

Quite right!
+1 for the gravel on the road - it can be a bit dodgy.
Yeah it's Thixendale. I thought the valley might throw ideas towards Millington/ Pockilington- very similar landscape. And to quote my school reports "must try harder" next time...

Clear from the photo - you were stood behind your bike. Do I win the prize?

Right location, wrong cause I think. The whole area was an inland sea caused by glacial melt water back in time, what you are seeing is the final valleys caused by the water run off similar to those visible in an almost empty reservoir. Once the water flow had subsided below a certain level the remaining water sinks through the chalk so the valleys are now dry.
After a very near miss down there one winter I keep out until I know there is no ice. I don't think the sun reaches the valley bottom some time.

There is no prize. You can have the booby prize if you want.. What size boobies would you like?
