YORK August 2010

Just a short blog about our trip to York over the August Bank holiday. 13 of us went for the weekend and a couple of us moved on to Naburn 5 miles south for a couple of days. For more photos look at the photos section of the Dunstablebogtrotters.co.uk website.


York YHA was originally the home of the Rowntrees. A nice hostel with one of the best breakfasts we have experienced whilst hostelling.

Some of us went to Evensong in York Minster. What a beautiful Cathedral

Again some of us (not all) took advantage of the free entry to the National Railway museum

Naburn Station right on the Sustrans Track where you can camp and also get teas cake sand icecreams etc. at weekends. Just South of York on the cycle track this bit is called the Solar Way as there are all the planets at scale distance starting from the sun over 10 miles to Selby.
