Visit to Ilkley

Catching the 10:33 from Leeds to Ilkley with Malcolm, Brian, Colin and Glenn. Meeting us at the station was John coming over from Forster Square. Derek And Keith would meeting us at The Flying Duck. 

The day was sunny and bright as we left the Station in Ilkley and walked down to the river where we exercised our legs as we travelled towards the bridge for a crossover to the other side and a return towards Ilkley Park where we crossed over The ancient bridge in the Park and up to Leeds Road where we would soon encounter The Flying Duck for our dinner with most of us enticed by Pork Pie, gravy and mint sauce and a drink of our choice. We spent a good hour in the pub before we returned for the 14:10 at Glenn’s suggestion back to Leeds and what a good call it was. 

Another simply Devine day out with the weather on our side for once. 

Best regards Colin
