Old York

I spent the day in York yesterday. A very nice day, but a little nippy. The photo is of the Minster (in the distance) from the city wall. The Minster (the cathedral) is the "must do" activity. And of course it was spectacular, with stained glass, ornate tombs, soaring columns etc. But the crpyt was actually more interesting, really a museum with exhibits of items discovered over the last two thousand years (and although they are not explicit about it, clearly some had come from raiding the tombs of some of the former archbishops!). I walked around the walls and generally gadded about town.
I had another go at camping just out of town. A nice place and a bargain at £7. It was not nearly as windy as the last time I camped, which made it so much more pleasant. There were a number of signs warning campers to be "dead quiet" after 11pm- I realy do feel like I'm in the North now.
