Thornton le Dale
It was another sunny day so I tried to fly my new pocket kite on the site, but there was not enough wind and too many trees. We took the bus into the popular tourist spot of Thornton-le-Dale and walked the half mile out of the village beside the brook to the Overbrook caravan park. This was a very nice site which explained why it was full when we had tried to book a pitch on two occasions. We walked back thru the woods and found a cafe with a sunny courtyard for lunch time snack.
Afterwards we took a circular walk around the village while Mike and Margaret went back into Pickering to meet an old friend who does voluntary work on the NYMR. We met them, one hour and one bus later, to return to site. We all walked over to the Black Bull pub opposite the site entrance in the evening where we dined on enormous home-made steak and mushroom pies before staggering back to the vans.
