Leeds to Beverley 

It was to be the 09:54 from Leeds that takes us into Hull today with  five making the direct journey. John, Mark, Glenn, Derek and Colin. 

Sourcing ourselves a table we all quickly settled down to discussed our future plans. 

We made good progress and we’re soon in Hull arriving just before 11:00. 

However, we had a twenty minute wait for our Beverley train that departed on time @ 11:21 arriving in Beverley a little after 11:34. 

Kevin met us at the station and 

took us to the Minster for a good look round. This munificent structure is a joy to behold with beautiful architecture and colourful stained glass windows and a huge font and the friendly Minster staff who made us all entirely welcome. 

Kevin then led us to a fantastic cafe a called “Vanessa’ Delicatessen & Cafe” where we had a fifteen minute wait due to its popularity before the super six were seated but it was well worth the wait all enjoying lovely food that left no room for a sweet that we had fully expected to eat which was sadly impossible after such a hearty meal. We all agreed that Kevin’s choice was 1st Class and our Catering Manager Derek Lee was also full of praise. 

We then made our way to a pub in town as we still had forty five minutes to wait for the 15:26 back to Beverley. This also arrived on time and we were soon back in Hull after a single stop at Cottingham. 

Catching the 16:03 Liverpool train from Hull we were soon back at Leeds and we all took our respective trains and buses to our homes. 

Another lovely day out and it was lovely to see Kevin once again who has been in Beverley now for ten years signifying a similar number of years as the walking group has been together!
