walk around knaresborough

To make sure that I stuck to my resolution to visit one new place a month, Chris and I went for a walk to the neighbouring town of Knaresborough.  Here is our journey:

This is us on our way out the door

we had to cross the tracks…

I had to run across the tracks when it was safe

then Chris ran across the tracks

a view from across the tracks – Knaresborough’s Roman Catholic Church in the distance

and then there was mud….

we had to be very careful to not fall in…

phewf!

we were happy that we crossed the first mud patch

but we got caught in the second one.. and got a bit muddy

Chris was not happy to be muddy

we turned around and walked to the main road and walked along it to Knaresborough

a view across one of the bridges

the remains of Knaresborough castle

another bridge.. the one we were standing on before

a bird on the castle grounds

painted dudes talking to each other!

the Catholic church that we saw from afar.. before we got stuck in the mud

Chris in front of the church.. being a photographer

on our way back from Knaresborough, we took another path and did not see this sign.. leading us in the right direction

we went that way…

instead of that way…

apparently you have to be thin to walk in North Yorkshire..

if you don’t fit.. you don’t cross

but we found our way to the path that leads to our house.. yay!

I’m happy

um.. he looks confused… or something…

pooped once we got home after walking for 4 hours… 22000 steps.. 12kms … wowsers

that was our journey!
