York
Wednesday 30th July - Monday 4th August 2008
We set off on an extend multi-site holiday which started with a Camping and Caravanning Club temporary holiday site at York. The site was on a rugby field which was a 15 minute riverside walk from the city. As we were so close we spent most our stay walking into the city and exploring by doing multi -geocaches which led us to many areas and points of interest that we would not normally have found. One directed us to look for the pig bricks in Swingate, which were quite difficult to spot but once we had our eyes in we found six.

We decided on a walk round the city walls which were well preserved and were quite high above the rest of the city giving good views. We had lunch at a coffee house at Walmgate which was an Elizabethan building above the city gate. It was quite nice, full of leather armchairs and a religious library. We finished the wall walk (2miles) and then finished a geocache that we had started yesterday. It was a good walk round and quite fun following in the footsteps of Walter de Gray. Again this walk led us to many places that we would not have spotted - including the area where the Minster stonemasons and lead window manufacturers work.
