Riverside Walk at York

 Wednesday 5th August 2026.             Riverside Walk York

It’s was a plan B for some of the lads today, previous arrangements was for them to do a riverside walk from Grassington to Burnsall, but inclement weather was expected in that particular location, hence the decision to travel to the city of York.

It would be just 4 of the group taking part in this suggested walk, those being Brian, Colin, John travelling from Leeds whilst Dave would make his journey from Wakefield, Derek would be joining them all later at a designated cafe close to the river at about 1:00pm.

After arriving at the station in York the four lads began their journey, it was just  after 11:00 am, some 15 minutes later and they had reached the riverside pathway, on this occasion they have decided to walk in a anti-clockwise direction to reach the Millennium Bridge, rest for a short time here, then cross over the bridge and return to towards the city from that side.

It was a pleasant morning here in York, a little breezy at times interspersed with warm sunshine, just perfect for walking etc. A close eye was kept on the time as we all ambled along beside the water’s edge making sure no one had a mishap or two, safely the lads reached a point just some distance away from their intended lunchtime stop that of the Oasis Cafe, another short rest before contact was made with Derek and we finally met up some 10 minutes later in the cafe.

The cafe has a pleasant atmosphere seating about 20 customers, it as a variety of meals to choose from and we were all delighted with our selections etc.  It was well over an hour that passed here in the Oasis cafe before the lads set off back towards the railway station and caught their respective trains heading homeward bound.

Yet again another great day out with the Lads.

Cheers Everyone.
