The Place: Went to meet Martin on Mon (19/6/6) in Leeds. Took a trip to Bolten Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales.
Some Features: Very beautiful place, some amazing countryside with an old Abbey from the 11 hundreds! Took a walk with Martin (a friend from high school and a fellow Mooncalf)and his buddy James (both medical doctors)for a about a 7k walk round through the forests past the abbey and countryside and along the water past some mossy rocks (a part that they call the strid).
Strange Observations: Cautions signs of 'The Strid claims lives' heh heh and its just rock pools! (Though very mossy and slippery and yes it certainly is dangerous for most strollers (being an average age of 60) heh heh. Also in the stroll we came across old trees that were dotted with 2p to 10p coins wedged solidly into them. My SA brain said I'm rich! but sheesh they're pretty stuck in those trees - hammered in an bent. Never did find out why - perhaps something to the effect of paying a visit to the spirits in the trees from where the saying 'Knock on wood' comes from??!!
