We visited many places during our stay with C & H.
The first day we visited a Sail windmill, at Skidby, still in , working order.
Gee they worked hard in those days. Very interesting to see the old machines and how heavy the were.
From there we headed to Hull, the 2017 Uk Cultural City.
Very impressed with all the redevelopement going on.
A lovelyMinster, being renovated, with great gardens and many fine old buildings.
In the evening we had dinner at the Triton Inn in Sledmere.
I had my favourite lamb shanks. Great meal and evening.

We had a busy , but great, day for our final day. First off we visited Pickering market town. Here the church had my favourite saint, St Sebastian. Full of arrows he wears a calm expression. "Is that the best you can do?"
The town also has a steam train ride to Goathland (Aidensfield in Heartbeat TV series) and Whitby.
Then on to Hemsley with its castle ruins, an old fashioned sweet shop,!a beautiful market town.
The abbey ruins st Rievault , situated in a valley, was an impressive sight.
From there we headed to another market town, Malton.
The day ended with a lovely meal at The Seabird in Flamborough.Læs mere

Due to major roadworks on the A1(M) the journey to Glasgow took longer than expected.
We returned the car and finalised our Southern Upland Way walk.
The weather was sunny and it looked like all of Glasgow was on the main shopping Mall, Buchanan Street, enjoying a fine day. It reminded us of Las Ramblas in Barcelona. Lots of artists and music.
There was a local band, The Clannards, who I thought was good. I took a video but on this blog I cannot download.
A sand sculpture of a dog caught our attention as around.Læs mere

In contrast to yesterday today is cold,wet & miserable. Still, like other tourists we ventured out visiting the Cathedral, which is like the weather.
We took shelter in the oldest house in Glasgow. Built in 1471 for the Bishop. Banged my head a few times.
Our next shelter was a cafe which sold flat whites. Very modern.
The artwork on the side of buildings is quite impressive and I have included a few examples.
Defeated by the weather we retired to the hotel drenched.Læs mere

The journey from Glasgow by train and bus was different. From Stranraer the train was on a single track with bushes and trees either and we were literally train bush bashing.
Portpatrick is the starting point for the Southern Upland Way which is the longest Scottish walk at 341 kms. Our hotel overlooks the Irish Sea, but we cannot see Ireland.
Tomorrow we start the walk with some long sections of +30km stages. Thankfully our bags are being carried. Wimps again.
Sandi reckons we don't need to carry water we just open our mouths, as it rains a lot.
Our hotel is the blue oneLæs mere
