Leyburn Food and Drink Festival - wow - made me proud to be english! Debbie and James went bungee jumping on a suspended frame over trampolines both of them doing backflips! Anne and I had Dales beers from the beer tent, we ate pasties and roast pork buns and saw the hairy bikers (if you don`t know them then watch it now - "The Hairy Bikers Cookbook" on BBC - two northern bikers cooking around the world!! It`s the North, it`s bikes and it`s great food - what more do you want??? See the website http://www.hairybikers.com/). We came away with Ginger Whinger beer from Suddaby`s brewery in Malton, beers from Wensleydale brewery, asparagus from aforesaid Dale and lemon and passion fruit cake from Cinnamon Twist.
Inspired by the above we (Rollo and I) have planned a biking trip to the Lakes later in the month, going up Hard Knott pass to do a circular walk round the roman fort then returning down the Duddon valley to stay with my mother in Ulverston.
