29-31 May 2025 Harrogate

Stopped of to visit friends on the campsite the elsen point was out of order as someone had dropped part of their toilet in and blocked it the temporary one you could see down about 8 feet into the sewer from the toilet block FAB this reminded me of some crap campsites I have been on.

The night watchman sleeps on the floor near the vans?

The plastic bottle on the left is for flushing the toilet.

On this campsite they are cutting the grass.

Just outside the site is where some of the locals live

28 May 2025 York

Last night I convinced myself to go for an evening walk (good move always follow intuition) its never let me down. The lovely flowers just getting ready to be so FAB and the swans LOVELY made my day.

Walking round the lake is a bit dodgy due to duck dropping dodging.

I had forgotten this chess piece was here.

This morning a walk into York again for walkabout still searching the streets for new things and again in the afternoon.

These churches are so close together.

Spotted an urban fox (not real)

While wrestling a Fanta out of its wrapping I was attacked by a FANTAstic beast how unusual to rip of in this shape WOW

A couple of walkabouts in town was so surprised not to see any Yarn Bombing in town.

Wow spotted some Yarn bombing hurray.

How things change dogs used to fetch sticks in my day a sign of changing times eh Woody ? What a nit.

Because all the people are using the grass next to my pitch for their dogs tp Pee and Poo I decided to walk round it !!!!! and yes I did stand in something Argh? Must have got out of bed the wrong way dangerous in a motorhome fell out of the window anyway on the cycle way into town every body walking on it instead of the footpath Argh. Anyway on arrival at Costa they said my card is no longer in use and must use the app. Complained to Costa as this store Stockton High Street is a dump filthy needs closing down and replacing with a Starbucks Avoid.

Cycle into Stockton again before leaving for Thirsk its a mad week end again with bad campers. Arrived 2 mins early what a look I got from the lady warden Ugh?

A motorhome with 6 Dogs and 3 cars number plates
