Yorkshire – May 2023

Most days were dryPhoto of robin on bike handlebar in Roberts Park I don’t decry Very grateful…Photo of train at end of Crowle Peatland Railway

But hills were steepPhoto down steep cobbled section of Brighouse Wood Lane I couldn’t keep Cycling up themPhoto of cyclist with trailer going through ford

On the cobblePhoto of miniature loco at Royds Park Railway I did wobble By the canalPhoto of giraffes doing yoga at Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Plenty of timePhoto of Yorkshire Brack To make the climbPhoto of York city wall To Ravensprings

Straight through the fordPhoto of Pacer and carriages at Leeming Bar, Wensleydale Railway Headed abroad Bike with trailerPhoto in Armley Mills museum, Leeds   Then onward wentPhoto of Seaside Lane, Tunstall closed More ride time spent Blackgates, Royds ParkPhoto of minion in Shibden Park, Halifax

Did disembark For wildlife park At Doncaster

T’were hard to find The lemurs behind Their shed, piled up!

Central Tramway O’er sandy bay At Scarborough

And for our snack Tried Yorkshire Brack A nice tea bread

We took a walk Round city of York Upon their wall

In Wensleydale We took the rail- way to Leyburn

In Armley Mill You can see still How things once worked

At Huddersfield Despite eyes peeled No cats were spied

From Hull did ride To the seaside Where road’s no more

To Liverpool late Straight through the gate To other train

Yellow minion Has dominion At Shibden Park

Thornes Park, Wakefield Never concealed Mini railway

Lots of delay On the last day Of our holiday!
