leaving Ashness farm - genuine shepherd's crook behind the kitchen door
the Rievaulx dale
Rievaulx abbey- est. 1132 - north moors
Robin Hood's Bay
old town on a steep ravine
narrow lanes
local shops
skipped the battered burger
lots of seafaring stuff
fishing at high tide
these folks just finished a 200 mile coast-to-coast walk
we considered staying at the Bay
with its treacherous slipway
and cool gargoyles
but opted for an old place perched on the cliff
got the tower room
dawn at the Bay
York minster - est. 1220
stained glass and fancy vaulting
carvers practiced on the Chapter House
old buildings in Oxford
old medicine
Bodleian library
Christ Church college
Old Rosie - scrumpy cider 7.5% abv
couldn't decide between black pudding and the faggots
more Rosie with the ploughman's board
and a final half to top it off
reduced to the no-hands technique
