Whernside Yorkshire

Mike Ward, Steve Davies and myself set off for Ingleton in yorshire last Friday after work to walk them Yorkshire hills. Had a cracking meal in the pub (Masons Arms) and them a bit of a walk to the next (The Craven which was crap)before returning to the first and getting quite smashed especially after 3/4 bottle of red back at the digs.

Anyway Saturday dawned and with a hangover we hiked Whernside and then crashed back at the barn before heading back to the pub for tea, then watched an Elvis copy signer in The 3 Horseshoes. Not a great deal of beer drunk on Saturday!!!

Celtic Crusaders Rugby League

I joined about 900 others for the trip to watch the Crusaders in the final 8 play offs at Huddersfield on Saturday 11th Sept, this was after wathching them beat Hull KR 30 - 24 at the Racecourse ground Wrexham last week.
Anyway we lost 18-12 but what a day we had in only out 2nd season in the top flight of rugby league. P.s we was robbed in my opinion!!! and that of most people who actually saw the game truthfully!!! including Giants fans.
