Weekend

August 19, 2007
Popped up to Leeds to watch the 4-1 thrashing of Southend this weekend. Since I got up there really early (and thus bought my ticket before the massive queues that delayed kick-off by 15 mins) I drove over to Knaresborough to see Mother Shipton's Cave (warning: annoying sound) before the game.

The story of Mother Shipton is pretty much fake, but the petrifying “well” there is interesting - and you have to have some respect for Richard Head (nicknamed Dick?) who seemingly invented the tourist trap...

Some pics of the place are now on the flickr.
