Where's the River?

Somewhere under all that water is the course of the River Nidd. Thankfully this is a deliberate flood plain and, whenever we pass by, I always think it looks rather lovely. Today we were heading to the outskirts of York to shop for some new running shoes for Tony at the Rat Race Company so on the way home, Tony kindly stopped in the layby so I could blip the waters as the sun dropped lower in the sky. We also stopped off at Chevin Cycles and I am now the proud owner of some thermal tights with serious reflective ness, and a replacement waterproof hi vis jacket. No excuse not to be seen on these very dark mornings!
