City of York

Micklegate

We are now in York for a few days. We happened to arrive on the day of the annual York races, so the city is packed with very fancily dressed folk, some the worse for a bit of drink! Just like Melb cup day.

York has an historic old town area, and is one of the few places in England that has much of the old city walls. Micklegate is one of the old gateways into the old town.

A chance for us to visit old medieval and roman ruins, which we love doing.

My feet are now beginning to feel normal again, I was bit footsore at the end of the walk. We managed to catch up with a number of our fellow walkers who finished the day after us. It was a great feeling to share our accomplishment with others, everybody feeling very elated at finally finishing.
