Langley Park

Thanks to Terry for leading this one. As often happens the various smartphone apps came up with different distances but I think 7-8 miles is a fair estimate- it certainly felt that way. 15 of us took part on a bright early spring day including Dennis on his first outing with the group.


The start was close to this famous tourist attraction.


Before long we were approaching the tradesman's entrance to Ushaw college


Terry told us of archaic games played here by the students at the college.


A quick visit to the cemetery ...


After leaving the college the ladies of a choral disposition burst into song.


Lunchtime overlooking the open Durham countryside




These unusual farm animules were very inquisitive but someone did not see the notice!. These are Rheas (from South America) and not Emus (from Australia).



Jackson has not got this cattle grid walking sorted. Uncle Ken to the rescue!

It was getting a bit windy toward the end but we made it to Langley Park and a well earned drink in the very welcoming Rams Head.

Next walk is April 13th and keep a look out for notices at Church about weekday strolls in the near future.
