Popular Post VH-KDK Posted July 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2022 Orbx Content: True Earth Great Britian Central Not long after taking off from Leeds/Bradford and flying past the Fewston Reservoir. At the left end of the reservoir is a locality called Blubberhouses. It is not pertaining to the current obesity epidemic but comes from the Anglo Saxon word Bluberhus, which referred to the house by the bubbling stream. Did the stream bubble as it tumbled over the rocks? Was it because one of farmer Arkwright's sheep had drowned in the stream and was decomposing or was it because of the locals habit of bathing in the stream the morning after consuming dodgy Vindaloos at the village's curry house! 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to even think about the dodgy vindaloos Martyn. Nice shot though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingleaf Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Great shot Martyn. But, hey guys don't blame it on our Fish Haggis. If someone does, I assure you that person is only a Blabbermouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
