3 October 2025 Harrogate

Last nights walk into Rowntree Park.

Walk into York along the riverside Wild camping to keep out of the rain.

Had a walk up the Shambles again early still queuing for the Ghost shop.

Drown down to Harrogate calling at Go Outdoors York then some shopping storm Amy for company.

Met up with friends for coffee in the afternoon.

2 October 2025 York

If you like to get your daily steps in this could be a good place at Cliffords tower York.

Despite the rain the river is not getting any deeper since I arrived.

Had a cycle around the old Rowntree factory is now luxury flats.

Walked into town to look at Dick Turpins grave ?

He was born in Essex if still alive he would have been in Towie.

The two names, “John Palmer” and “Richard Turpin,” appear on his gravestone because he adopted the alias John Palmer to conceal his identity, and the gravestone was placed in the 20th century to honor the well-known highwayman Richard Turpin, acknowledging both his assumed name and his true identity. The grave itself is likely a memorial, as Turpin was buried without a marker in 1739, and the current stone was erected long after his death then cycled out to where he was hanged at Tyburn.

Another walkabout in town in the afternoon.

30 – 1 September/October

Into Brid for coffee and then a good drive over to York had a walk about but the weather is not to good for pictures. Next day rain again so managed to get a wet statue and the parking for the boat is not to big you need a small car if you are renting it.

Another walkabout in the afternoon its been one of those days where the planets arn’t aligned properly a bit strange??
