Old Times – Day Five in North Yorkshire

My last full day in North Yorkshire. I got another high speed, whirlwind tour of The Dales, courtesy of Adrian. Again, more beautiful scenery. Visting the Buttertubs Pass, Hardraw Falls, Bolton Castle, Aysgarth Falls, Middleham Castle and finally Brymore Dairy for Jersey cow ice cream.

Had a lovely tea of fish and veg at Adrian’s house with his dad, went back to The Box Tree Cottages and off to The One Eyed Rat.

This time I met up with Adrian (Korka), Stuart “Pilly” Borchard and Garry “Gaz” Turner. Stuart’s had quite the life, travelling the world, first with The Royal Navy, then for business. Garry seems the most stable, getting an IT job at the University of York, getting married and, like us, finally having a child after 11 years. Spent the evening talking about what we did in school, what had happened since and what others were up to.

A good time was had by all. Back to the B&B.

It was a good note to leave on. My Spaulding Gray, perfect moment.
