Yorkshire born...











There are some lovely places in Yorkshire, and we found a cracker of a site at Bolton Abbey, called Strid Wood. It has a river running right along side the site.


The site was wonderfully clean and well laid out, with hardly any distance to walk to get the water, and empty the wastes. The only drawback was that the television reception was poor and no signal for the mobile phone or broadband dongle, but hey! we can do without those for a few days cant we? hehe.


We took a return trip which i made, must be 40 years ago, to the biggest fish & chip shop in the World; Harry Ramsdens. There were very few people in there, and i remember all those years ago, it was almost impossible to get served it was so busy. We did have some fish and chips, but even if i was being kind, all i can say is that it was average, and expensive too.


The building is as it was, and brought back some memories of Preston North End away games, when we used to call at 'Arrys on the the way home.


We took a trip to Lake Coniston on the third day away, and Dale and Paul went on a paddle boat for a couple of hours, its a wonder one of them didnt fall in!
