Addingham-Ilkley via No 62 Keighley Bus and Postman’s Shelter.
It was a cold morning as Colin left home to catch the 09:40 to the Railway Station where he would arrive in plenty of time for the 10:33 to Ilkley going from platform 1 arriving in Ilkley @ 11:01 to rendezvous with the Tour Overlord, John Hey who had been there since 10:50 having to travel only a short distance from Bingley.
We waited for the 11:12 No. 62 bus to Keighley alighting at Church Street and then a short walk to the suspension bridge at Addingham.
We worked our way down the steps to the bridge and crossed over the river to embark on our walk through the peaceful countryside.
Once we reached the road after leaving the farm buildings it was quite inclined until we reached the Postman’s Shelter where we partook in a bite to eat that would serve as part of our repast.
Leaving the postman’s Shelter we strode purposefully on to our destination with the weather making a remarkable transformation with the sunshine now brightening our route.
We soon arrived at the Golf Course and the diversion to the Ilkley bridge and on and upwards to the Lister Arms where neither of us could do a meal justice but at John’s suggestion we both decided that Apple Crumble would complement our sandwich and Sausage Roll’s at the Postman Shelter. Leaving Wetherspoons we strolled to Ilkley Station to catch our respective trains to Leeds and Shipley. 14:10 for me and 14:21 for John.
Another great day out proving you don’t need to travel far to enjoy yourselves!
