Timble Inn

The Timble Inn has reopened and this  will be welcomed by many walkers in the Washburn Valley area near Otley. Mr & Mrs JK sampled it on 25/10/09 and confirm it is very nice. Real Ales: Theakstons Bitter, Copper Dragon 'Golden Pippin'. The Copper Draggon was spot on and the folk running the place are very pleasant. It is open at lunch times apart from Monday and Tuesday and food is available. It also does B & B. Floors are stone flagged so boots are OK. They have a website currently under construction but with contact form. http://www.thetimbleinn.co.uk/ Tel. 01943 880530

Help Find Madeleine McCann

As most people must be aware, the little girl Madeleine McCann who was abducted in Portugal is still missing. The family have put huge effort into finding her and their latest idea is to "chain letter" a poster which shows a close up of her face and particularly her left eye which has a distinguishing mark. The request is that everyone email everyone in their address book with the poster. The picture of her eye from the poster is below.

The poster which is in PDF format can be downloaded here.

The McCanns have also released the following computer enhanced image to show how she might look in 2009 now age 6.
