Wetherby (Saturday 27 July)

A bit of a rubbish day.  Set off late.  Had planned a route that crossed the river Wharfe on a footbridge but found it was closed when we got about half a mile from it.  The detour would have added 4 miles so we walked into Wetherby and gave up for the day.

On the plus side we got free cakes from the butcher in East Keswick.

The very annoying sign just as we were about to cross the main road and walk down to the river.

Each of these trees was planted in 1920 to commemorate someone killed in the Great War.   There is also a small memorial with two seats in the shade.   I now judge every village on whether I can buy cold drinks and sit in the shade.  East Keswick scores very high as it has several benches and the butcher gave us free food.
