We've decided to take several long weekend throughout the year and see some English cities.
Our first outing in Hymie this year is to York, which took about four hours to get there and as usual the satnav took us an interesting route!
Anyhoo we arrive early afternoon to the campsite, which is near the racecourse and overlooking the River Ouse and a short walk into the city.
Set up on the pitch, which takes all of five minutes and then get the kettle on and have a tea / coffee and some lunch.
It's a bit overcast but not raining so mid afternoon we walk along the river in to the city. Our initial port of call is the York Tourist Board to collect our York Pass, which allows entry to the main attractions in York.
The YTB couldn't be further away but we eventually find it and then decide to have a late afternoon tea at the famous Betty's Tea Rooms, it's about 16:00 and there's quite a long queue but we decide to wait.
Eventually get to the front and are shown downstairs, our choice as we didn't want to be sitting in the window being gawped at by passersby.
We both have a very nice pot of tea and cake - I had a warm fat rascal - a flat fruit / almond scone and Ceylon Blue Sapphire tea, Tina had the stem ginger cake but cannot recall which tea T had.
Afterwards we head back to the campsite - yes I made Tina walk back - I'm a harsh task master.
