Lads outings

30th. April. 2019       A Pork Pie Picnic  For their adventure today the lads are heading for the grounds of Harewood House, a country estate  situated north of Leeds. They intend to participate in a walk of a distance between 4 and 5 miles.

A rather misty start greeting the lads has they set foot inside the grounds, but not  before too long the mist lifts and reveals what turns out to be a glorious day, packed with lots of interesting sites , sounds and other ramblers enjoying being outdoors, such a pleasure to meet and chat with them and accept their help with some of the photos etc.

The lads are due to take the 9:20 train from Leeds, they will be a group of six today, Eddie Colin Malcolm John Derek and Dave, unfortunately Keith had problems with the train connection to Leeds and was unable to join us.
