A Trip to York



It was the perfect autumn day when we drove to York the other week. We walked along by the River Ouse with the sun making the water sparkle. It reminded me of the time I went on a canal boat down the Ouse, sitting on the roof of the boat as the sun was shining. 



We walked into the centre of the city – there are lots of shops and places to eat. There are also lots of little roads and one of the best places to walk round is The Shambles with its tiny cobbled road and little shops on either side. There’s also a really nice fudge shop. 
We walked to York Minster, but since it was too nice of a day to be stuck inside, we didn’t go into the Minster this time, but you can and entry is about £10. We finished our trip by walking along the castle wall; this gave us a different view of the Minster, as well as a brilliant view of York itself. (I also saw a hedgehog in someone’s garden.)

Llama Trekking in Nidderdale



Welcome to my blog! After making an account back in July, I've finally plucked up the courage to share some photos and thought I'd start with one of my favourite recent trips - llama trekking. I didn't even know that llama trekking was a thing until recently. I went back in May and I would honestly recommend it to anyone. (The first two pictured are alpacas but are still cute.)

The llamas are based in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire. You need to book in advance and can choose a short or longer walk; our walk was 1.5 miles which took about 2 hours. There were 3 of us in our group and we all got a llama each, but another couple got a llama between them. This may have been a wise decision as my llama was quite strong!


When we arrived we went into where the llamas are kept and after introductions, we were each assigned a llama based on our personalities. During the trek, we stopped for photos but I managed to take some whilst we were walking round. Overall, it was a fantastic day out which made me love llamas even more.
