SATURDAY
The forecast for this weekend was for a wet start to Saturday so we decided to take a trip over to Redbrick Mill to have a look at dining tables and lighting - not very exciting but ideal for a wet Saturday morning.
 Luckily by the time we left the shop and had a coffee in the van the rain stopped and the sun came out so we headed over to Crow Nest park in Dewsbury to do a set of Adventure labs. 
The autumn colour was stunning against the backdrop of a beautiful blue sky. 
After this we headed to Oakwell Country Park for another set of Adventure labs.
I recognised the hall as soon as we walked up to it. We visited a few years ago, 2015 I think it was, it was almost dark then so it was good to come back today for a longer walk in the sunshine. 
Then once it was dark we headed to Ikea to check out the dining tables (exciting stuff). 
SUNDAY Up early and it's raining heavily. We'd planned to find a few caches along the canal near Rodley but as the weather was so awful we had a much shorter walk before heading back to the van. 
We drove over to Kirkstall Abbey and waited for the rain to stop...... It didn't so we continued with our plan to do the set of Lab Caches. 
Kirkstall Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery north west of Leeds city centre. It was founded circa 1152 and was disestablished during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. The abbey is in a public park and is free to enter. We were considering heading home as we were getting a bit tired of dodging torrential rain showers when the rain stopped and the sun came out! Whoo hoo! So we headed over to Beckett University Headingly Campus for a set of adventure labs We extended our walk by finding a few caches too. 
 
We'd planned to head into Leeds city centre for the rest of the afternoon but the weather took a turn for the worst again so we decided to head home via an old cache from 2002 called Maerwens Choice. 
All too soon we had to head home and the end of another weekend. Thanks for reading. |
