Train journey to Bridlington

                           16th August 2017

Today's outing a trip to the East Coast resort of Bridlington, various options of how to get there.
Eventually the decision was to go by train via the port of Hull. Supposedly a more scenic route.
Anyway our journey as usual begins with meeting at Leeds Railway Station, we all arrive by different  means, some by bus , some on a bike others by train. Purchasing the tickets is not an easy task as numerous permutations are available. Leeds to Selby , Selby to Bridlington via Hull came out number one, for some strange reason. Anyway we arrived at the resort shortly after 11:30 , Kevin had joined the train at Beverley his home town now, so our group was 8 in number. 
Malcolm, John, Eddie, Colin, Derek, Keith, Dave and Kevin.
It was Keith's task to guide us on our walk today, the weather was perfect,beautiful blue sky and pleasant sunshine, so with a skip in our steps off we headed for the seafront and our journey towards Sewerby just a few miles further along the coast.
It was catch up time for Kevin and some of the lads, as they hadn't seen each other for years since leaving work.













Our walk along the seafront was great, lots of visitors enjoying their time here ,sat on the beach playing in the sea or just soaking up the sunshine.
It wasn't too long before we reached Sewerby and decision time, either to extend our walk and venture to Danes Dyke , or head for lunch at a recommended fish and chip shop. After a rather long discussion and directions in our head it was off for lunch.
This proved some what of a difficult task, should have listened more carefully to the directions.
Some 40 minutes later we found the place in question and eventually enjoyed their delights.

The establishment was named 149 chippy.








Lunch over, we now headed for the promenade and a steady stroll along  the seafront ,taking in all the sights and sounds of the many hundreds of holidaymakers.Our next intended venue was a ice cream parlour named Tophams. We soon came across this place and found ourselves inside  ordering specials from the board! Eventually we all managed to get seated together and enjoy these offerings, yummy yummy!

Now onto the harbour and soak up the atmosphere as we sat for awhile discussing what our next adventure would be. Llandudno,Scarborough or Grassington! some heated discussion took place, but all was resolved as we headed back to the Station in order to start our journey back home.
What a most interesting and wonderful day out.
Cheers Lads.

  Wednesday 6th March 2024.               Birthday Bash at Horbury Today’s outing for the Lads will consist of a trip to the small town of Horbury and visit a local Inn named the Shepherds Arms all in the aid of celebrating 2 of our colleagues birthdays, those individuals being Malcolm and Mark, accompanied by John, Colin, Derek, Glenn, Keith and Dave. A meeting time of midday was arranged along with a pre booked table reservation courtesy of Derek. Some Lads travelled there by train and bus whilst others came by car. Our group of eight assembled in the car park awaiting for the entrance doors to be opened, it was a much colder day than the previous two days , so waiting around wasn’t what we expected, however the doors eventually opened and we were soon seated at an appropriate table close to the bar. Drinks were ordered and the menu browsed over with various conversations now taking place, some few minutes later the waitress began to take our individual selections of meals etc. More

Out and about 2016

           Elvington  Air Musium  The journey to this location starts with a bus ride from Leeds to York. Once in York we walk a short distance to Merchant Gate. This is where we catch a local bus that will take us to the museum, this journey taking about 35 minutes.The driver dropping us off at the gates. From here it's just a short walk to the admission hut. After paying our entrance fee and given a brief description of what to expect, we are left to explore this nostalgic setting at our own pace. The general layout is much of what it would have been like in the WW2 era, but now with quite a number of modern additions to its airborne craft.  As we wondered about the old accommodation blocks, you get a feeling of what it would have been like for the personnel who were stationed here. Lots of photos and memorabilia on display along with the various aircraft of that time. The large hanger alone was worth the admission fee. A great adventure was had by all.  The local

Ambling at Anglers

 Wednesday 20th March 2024.                  Ambling at Anglers On a day that was predicted to be rather wet, we were rather fortunate not to contend with any serious downpours of rain as we walked around the lake here at Anglers Country Park. This is a location on the outskirts of Wakefield near the village of Crofton. It was a group of six that would venture out on a wet morning to converge on this location, their means of getting there would involve various modes of transport, John and Colin by train and bus , Derek, Dave and Glenn by bus, Keith arriving by car. Their journeys not running smoothly though. The 196 bus at 10:51 from Wakefield to Anglers was cancelled so a ride on the 195 was substituted only to find out that this particular bus didn’t go the full route to Anglers, it dropped off John, Colin, Derek and Dave at a bus terminus in Crofton and await the arrival of a 196 bus to continue their journey.  In the meantime Glenn took a car ride with Keith to the car park at Angl
