Leeds - K&WVR.
It was a wet morning as Brian and Colin assembled in Leeds City Station for the 10:26 Leeds to Skipton departure dropping them off at Keighley where they would be meeting up with John.
We then walked up from the platform and across to the K&WVR to purchase our £12 concessionary ticket to allow us to travel the full line from Keighley to Oxenhope and return. We decided that we would alight at Haworth on our way back from Oxenhope after a quick turnaround.
Arriving at Haworth we walked up the slope and over the bridge and up the cobbled street to the Park and joined the main street that would take us up the full length until reaching the top looking at the quaint shops on the way as we perused the wears on offer.
We had passed a little café earlier that we all agreed would be ideal for a spot of light lunch and given that our train back to Keighley was not until 13:35 we had just over an hour to steadily consume our meal.
Ordering Carrot and Coriander soup with chunky brown bread and butter plus sausage rolls for Brian and John and half a Yorkshire curd tart for me.
We all agreed that the meal was excellent and on finishing we meandered down Haworth high street entering at the top of the park this time and down to Haworth station with a few minutes to spare before our 13:35 back to Keighley which was also just in time for Colin and Brian to catch the 14:01 train back to Leeds arriving at 14:30.
We were extremely lucky as the weather had been only slightly wet but nothing like forecasted and was in all other aspects fine and reasonably warm.
John going off to catch his bus back to Bingley arriving home just a few minutes later.
On arrival in Leeds Brian and Colin returned to Morley and Beeston respectively after another lovely day out with plenty of exercise navigating the climb away from Haworth station the cobbles and the high street with almost 6000 steps for Colin and even more for Brian and John.
