Glenn Brian and I rendezvoused at the Leeds City Railway Station for the 10:33 to Ilkley. John was unable to join us because of Covid-19 and we wish him a speedy and healthy recovery.
Arriving in Ilkley at around 11:00
where Glenn and Brian entered M&S for their sandwiches with mine already purchased at Greggs on Boar Lane.
The No. 64 Skipton bus, 11:05 to Addingham was about to depart but the delay in catching this due to sandwich selection meant that we had to catch the 11:12 No. 62 which dropped us off at around 11:25 at Station Street in Addingham.
A ten minute walk up to The Suspension Bridge and we were on our way.
The forty minute walk to the Postman’s Shelter soon found us tucking into our sandwiches and chatting about where we might be going next. With the sandwiches consumed we hit the road for our final assault on our way to Ilkley.
The walk had been pleasant enough with our walk only being disturbed by the occasional motor vehicle but plenty of cyclists passing us by with one obnoxious cylclist shouting “Jesus Christ” as he sped towards us as though he was on a time trial and we were just obstacles to his selfish intentions!
Arriving at the Ilkley Park we used the toilets which you now had to pay for and then progressed up to the COSTA for a relaxing drink before departing for the 14:40 back to Leeds which left on time.
We were soon back in Leeds where Brian went for his bus back to Morley and Glenn and I caught the bus back to Heckmondwike alighting at Barkly Road and the Thirlmere’s respectively.
Another lovely day out and a trip to look forward to on Wednesday 29 February! Possibly Newmiller Dam?
