Friday 30 October 

Roundhay Park. 


It was overcast as we assembled waiting for the First Bus No. 2 opposite Corn Exchange. There would be three of us today with the usual triumvirate consisting of John, Brian and Colin. 


The journey took about twenty-five minutes as we headed towards north Leeds going along North Street, Chapeltown and turning right at Moortown Corner along Street Lane arriving at the Front Gates at around 11:40. 


We decided to walk anti-clockwise around the Park arriving at the Café where Brian made a pit stop before continuing around the lake. There was an intermittent rain fall but nothing serious that eventually gave way to sunshine. Stopping at a bench where those eating a bite to eat and a drink could do so. 


We continued around the lake and crossed over the bridge with the weather still holding out. 


We then climbed up towards the Castle and then located the smaller lake and made our way towards the Mansion where we encountered a group of cyclists who were all on electric bikes. They told us they were making a promotional video to let more people know of the hiring of the biked for £25 a day and they had a range of about 95 kilometres.


We then started  walking back towards Street Lane to catch the No. 2 back in to Leeds for our respective transport back to our homes. 


We departed Roundhay Park at around 14:00. Another lovely day out exercising at a leisurely pace.
