The need to go out... then there's the woods!

Stuck inside?! 

Hello Blog readers!  Nope, I've not got the current virus thats going under the names of Corona Virus or CORVID-19... despite chatting with a friend about why on earth it's called that, the last one being was it officially diagnosed and the first case last year hence the 19?? Why are all the loo rolls, kitchen roll etc running out and no one getting anymore in, why are people getting angry on social media about people panic buying, why are they even panic buying? Ok, so I'm borderline Autistic, have dyslexia and dyspraxia along with ADHD.  That's not going to stop my love of blogging and wont hopefully stop you reading my blog posts.  But it also hopefully won't make me more acceptable to the virus! I've known a few people including my own father having to isolate himself and stay inside in risk of getting the blasted thing!!  

It's all getting to confusing for words for my liking, i'm not sure what to do or think, I don't know about anyone else!! Apologies if theres some spelling errors in the message.  Just wanting to put a blog across and wondered what people thought...

Stay safe and well readers,

Sutton Bank and the White Horse - Kilburn and Sutton-under-whitestone-cliff, North Yorkshire

Sutton Bank & The White Horse 
Walking Trip and Short Review

Wednesday 4th March 2020



We parked in the Yorkshire Gliding Club customer car park and walked up to the Gliding clubs little cafe which is open from 9:30 and stops serving food about 2pm weekdays. A good view while watching the gliders taking off and landing, although there didn't seem to be many today, not sure if it was the weather conditions, which weren't too bad today then they have been.  I felt it was quite mild for the time of year coming up to Springtime.  The daffodils and some other spring time flowers out already while we drove up to the Gliding place.  Saw 3 or 4 gliders and that seemed to be it for today, although they were doing some maintanance work it seemed on some of them in the base. 

You can have flights and go up in a Glider or Microlite. A sheet that we read whilst there mentioned for £25.00 you could try out a simulator before booking on a real flight to see if you liked it or not which is good for the people that might be interested.   

The website for the YGC is: https://www.ygc.co.uk/  

If anyone is ever interested in having a look at what they offer.  

Myself, my mum and step dad go up for walks up there and there are also some Geocaches (www.geocaching.com) done by the geocachers, islaynut and melandfreddie17.  Who I've had the honour of meeting myself.  Lovely people.  

Whilst going back to the car we decided to go for the nearest geocache which was from the cacher islaynut and came across a family of 3 deer walking across the road up towards the gliding centre.  Mrs Harp had to get out and try and get a photo, which went rather well but might be a bit blurry here are some photos.
