Uncles are EVIL!!! or England Part 3

So this is another one of those posts that I meant to post earlier but I didn't get back to my uncles house until about 1am last night so I went straight to bed. This first part was written about 6pm after the first part of the day.

Oh Gosh I'm so tired right now I can't even think straight! (Note that I was so out of it I used gosh). So me and my Uncle headed towards Haworth today to score some major grandma points. (Love you Grandma!) We hiked all the way out to Top Withers to take pictures of it. For those of you who have never heard of the place, that's where they think Wuthering Heights was about. It's this little farm house in the middle of nowhere, literally!

From Haworth its a 3.5 mile hike out to Top Withers and on the way there it was all up and down difficult hiking. Of course 200 yards before Top Withers our path combines with a much easier path that's basically the same length. It took us about 2 hours to hike out there and only 1.25 to 1.5 hours to get back. Either way a 7 mile hike was way too much!

The real kicker is that there was a place we passed on the way back where we could have parked so that our hike would have only been 3 miles roundtrip. Plus we didn't have a good path to follow on the way back so I'm pretty sure that we went farther than 7 miles. This is why Uncles are EVIL!

After that traumatic experience we went to the pub in Haworth where Bronwell Bronte drank himself to death. Again if you're unfamiliar with Wuthering Heights it was written by Emily Bronte who is the sister of Bronwell. Apparently all the Bronte sisters died young, like around 30 or so, and after all his sisters died Bronwell just basically decided to drink himself to death. I might have even sat in the same spot he died! Morbid but kind of cool.

Once we had recuperated from our hike set off to go pick up my cousin and her friend from VFest. One long car ride later and I'm back home around 1am and totally exhausted.

We've been taking it easy so far today but we'll see what happens later. Two things to leave you with. If you want to see more of my pictures I'm posting all of them on Facebook but of course under my real name so if you're a total stranger you're out of luck. The other is that you can post comments on what I write. Ask questions or whatever and I'll answer.

Until next time!
