Hayburn Wyke

12th. July 2018.                     Hayburn Wyke 

Today’s outing would take the Lads to the East Coast resort of Scarborough, their mission was to experience an enjoyable meal at the local Inn at Hayburn Wyke. 
Yet again our journey starts at Leeds Railway Station, where we will board the 9:21 train heading for Scarborough, our group consists of Keith, Malcolm, John, Derek and Dave, Colin and Eddie have other commitments. We arrived on the east coast just before 10:40 with only minutes to spare before the Whitby bound bus was due to leave, rather hurriedly we climbed aboard for our journey to Cloughton.




At this point we would leave the bus and head down Station Road in order to meet the pathway that would lead us in the direction of Hayburn Wyke. A few minutes after 11 o’clock we began our steady walk towards our intended destination, the Hayburn Wyke Inn. 
As midday approached the Inn came into view, moments later we were sat inside deciding which meals to order along with a few other patrons. Soon our lunches arrived much to the delight of all the lads , a most enjoyable meal in this friendly establishment, well worth the journey.



Lunch time over and we have made the decision to return to Cloughton by way of the Coastal pathway , leaving out the visit to see the waterfalls which involves a rather steep decent and a clambering back up again. Soon we are walking along the cliff top with the views of Scarborough way off in the distance .




The last time we were on this pathway we were heading in the opposite direction so this made a delightful change to things. 
An hour or so later we had a decision to make, either carry on walking all the way back towards Scarborough or leave the pathway here and take the country lane back into Cloughton and catch the bus back to the resort. Time was an issue at this point, so it was decided to return by bus. This being done we soon found ourselves back on the streets of Scarborough and heading down towards the Harbour Bar for a well deserved Ice Cream delight , Peach Melba etc.

These consumed now for a stroll along the seafront before heading back to the Railway Station in order to catch our train back to Leeds which is due to leave a few minutes before 6 o’clock.
Another great day out with the 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
