Walking in the Snow

 8th January 2025.                 Walking in the Snow at Roundhay Park

For their first adventure of 2025, it would be 5 of the Lads that would venture to an area of Leeds known as Roundhay Park. As per usual the said five would make their way to the city centre either by train or bus. It was John, Colin, Brian, Glenn and Dave that would board a No 12 bus that transported them to the Park. The city centre was surprisingly free of snow considering the amount that had fallen over the previous days, not so the underfoot conditions at the park. It was to prove a rather difficult task to stay upright on our feet. Slip sliding away was imminent at any moment with the wrongfully placed foot, so with great care the Lads made their way to the Mansion and partake in a refreshing cuppa etc. 

The Lads spent about 20 minutes or so before venturing a little further on their walk through the park with every step taken with caution trying to avoid any mishap, it was slowly, slowly, as they made their way along side the main lake and on towards the exit gates on Wetherby Road. Once the roadway was reached the lads crossed over and then down to the nearby bus stop just in time to catch the X98 bus back towards the city centre, a journey of about 20 minutes. The Lads now getting off the bus  on Duncan Street and then made their way into the Trinity Shopping Centre and go in search of their lunch time meal which would be courtesy of the Street Food Establishment.

It was Pizza for all has they found a suitable place to sit and eat their favourite delight along with a choice of cold drink etc. Time to reflect now about today’s outing, did we make the right decision to come to Roundhay or not , we all thought it was a good call considering the weather conditions even though it was tough to stay upright at times, just being outdoors in the cold but fresh air was exhilarating and gave us the lift that was needed after our Christmas break.

Cheers Everyone.
