Well obviously it wasn't meant to be taken in the literal sense, it refers to any manufacturers of diary products.

Thanks for a great trip and great turnout.  Made it to the bottom of the Wormhole pitch where I was able to take this photo.  I have posted my pictures from the trip to the UCET Facebook page.  Met Doug in the Glan yr Afon, I will see if 2CV City of Leeds have a suitable gearbox for the train when I meet them on Sunday for the run up to Tan Hill Inn.

Putting  the flash to the side of the camera will help reduce that hot spot. ISO could be halfed from 1600 or shutter speed  doubled to 1\60 to get a more evenly exposed shot too.
