14/07/07 - RAP summer outing

Given the terrible weather so far this summer, I wasn’t optimistic about the Ripon Activity Project outing, but I needn’t have worried.  Our members have a great capacity for enjoyment and it takes more than a spot of rain to put them off.  We spent the morning browsing around Darley Mill Centre and didn’t forget to feed the wild ducks on the mill race.

Then we moved on to the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.

We were allowed to eat our packed lunches in the waiting room at Bolton Abbey station and enjoyed a return trip on the train.
