Title: Harrogate, Knaresborough, and Wetherby areas
Post by: fit old bird on 16:01:39, 05/03/19

I had three days away last week, based at the Crowne Plaza at Harrogate, (woohooo, I can afford hotels now), and walked in the Knaresborough, Wetherby, Spofforth areas. 28 miles covered. Fabulous sunny weather for two days, dry no sun for the third day.

A fine set of attractive walks, you always spot much of interest along the way.  O0

Great effort with the upcycled shopping bags, very sturdy looking.

You liked the ravens and the church door then.   :D

Is that the bloke who's famous for the World's largest wrist watch or his brother who has the largest bottle opener ?  Either way you look to have petrified him ... :D  (a Knaresborough joke)

He is holding onto his bicycle, can't see it due to the angle of the pic. Neither can you see my hand on his knee, no wonder he looks petrified, ha ha. Sadly, I didn't get a date.  :(
