14 – 19 October 2017 Harrogate
Drive down from Hawes not bad, weather brightened up on reaching Harrogate. Our friends, Linda and Ray, joined us for coffee and we spent the afternoon with them.
Sunday we had a run and cycle then met up with Linda and Ray and they took us to Pateley Bridge for a walk along the river, then onto Bolton Abbey but didn’t stay due to the lateness of the day and the high price of parking, £10 per day and we only wanted to stay for an hour. In the evening went to The Chequers for a Sunday roast dinner – excellent.
Monday took the train to Leeds to meet Emma for a catch up on news.
Tuesday went to Harlow Carr Gardens with some more friends, Olive and Alex. Gardens really interesting even though its autumn. Then for lunch at a local pub. Another good day with friends.
Wednesday cycle with Ray to Knaresborough. Coffee on the riverside. In the afternoon drove to Ilkley for some new running shoes and shorts for Maureen. It’s really strange to us driving without the satnav on!
Thursday run first thing for Maureen then up to Ripon to look at the cathedral.
