August Bank Holiday in Yorkshire: Friday

We went away last weekend to the North Yorkshire Moors. We pitched the tent at a nice quiet campsite near Nawton and Beadlam called Wrens of Ryedale. Arriving at lunchtime on Friday gave us an afternoon to familiarise ourselves with the area. A drive up to Gillamoor took us to a small church with a short steeple and a view across the dale.

A short drive across the dale took us to Hutton-le-Hole, home of the Ryedale Folk Museum. We preferred to sit outside a small shop by the stream eating tubs of local ice cream. We then wandered into Kirkbymoorside to check out the local shops before heading back to the campsite. After cooking our tea, we wandered down the lane to the village pub on Friday evening. As we sat in the dry we watched the rain start pouring down and chatted about what we were going to do over the weekend. Once the rain stopped we headed back to see how the tent had coped. Everything was dry inside so we settled down for the night.
