Day 780
Bedale
July 12, 2020 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
On our final day in Bedale we left our site to meet with Karen's family once again.
We drove to Lealholm where we all enjoyed a picnic and some popcorn rocky road sweet crunch sold at the local shop and had a little wander around the village. This is a village A remembers taking day trips to in his youth followed by a visit to Pickering Castle or Helmsley.
We then moved on to Whitby to find the Park and Ride shut but we found a space in a more central car park adjacent to the Leisure Centre.
Whitby was very busy promting us to wear face masks - we were very much in the minority. The amusement arcades were buzzing and all the usual queues for the fish and chip shops.
We returned to site in the evening where we sorted ourselves for our move.Read more

Day 781
Lincoln
July 13, 2020 in England ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
A travelling day. We said our goodbyes to Stella and Steve the night before, and set off in the morning heading south to Lincoln where had reserved a place on a site within a country park run by the council - Hartsholme Park - which is close enough to walk or cycle into the city.
On Tuesday we walked into the city - following a drainage water course to join the footpath alongside the River Witham. After a short deour to the computer shop to sort my laptop we hit the city centre and caught up on some much needed clothes shopping. Thereafter we climbed Steep Hill to the medieval quarter surrouding the cathedral. A very pleasant city with a Roman history too and some roman features remain.
The high ground is dominated by the cathedral and its associated buildings - the obligatory scaffolding covering the front of the cathedral at low level - and the Castle.
The commercial city centre below the medieval quarter straddles the River Witham with a quite interesting waterfront and marina.Read more

Day 783
Lincoln
July 15, 2020 in England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We returned to the city centre, as we had booked tickets to see the Castle and its attractions.
The castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1068 to help subdue the locals and it has been kept in excellent condition.
One of the original copies of the Magna Carta was sent to Lincoln Cathedral where it has remained ever since. The original copy is on display within the castle which we were able to view prior to watching a 20 minute film which described the backdrop to its existence and its historical significance.
The castle has, over the centuries been used as a court house and prison and the Crown Court house lies within the castle walls. The prison was rebuilt in Victorian times and is open to visitors - we enjoyed the displays and the stories behind some of the inmates. The prison chapel was quite interesting as it was built to maintain the solitary confinement principle.
Unfortunately the weather did not perform as expected and the dry day forecast turned out to be wet and drizzly so our walk around the pristine castle walls did not show off the views to their best.
We thoroughly enjoyed the visit, returning in late afternoon.Read more
