Trip down to Richmond & Catterick Garrison + Fresh Goodies

We don't have many free weekends between now and Christmas so we decided to have a day trip down to Richmond. It has been quite a while since we have been to Richmond so was looking forward to it. We parked up and had a walk down into town past the park / cricket club where Richmond CC used to do the grass track racing. We had a walk around the town centre / market place and did some shopping then had a tootle over to The Station on the other side of the river (opposite the swimming pool). We had a cuppa and some bait then hauled ourselves back up the hill and back up through the market place for some more shopping. Once back at the van we loaded up our shopping and had a short drive down to Catterick Garrison to their shopping centre place. Jane  was after a pair of new walking shoes so tried some on in Cotswold Outdoors. Did some more shopping in the other shops then back in the van and back to Richmond, trading industrial estate to the Alt Berg factory. Jane tried on more walking shoes and hit lucky with a pair of slight seconds marked down from £140 to £50!
From there I was going to call in past Arthur Caygill cycles but forgot so headed to Bishop Auckland for food shopping and fuel. We did not get back in until late afternoon and both of us were tired and feet up time.

 

And below are some fresh goodies that was bought / landed this week.

 

Both my inspection lamps are on the blink and drive me mad going on and off all the time so I thought it was about time I treated myself to a new re chargeable one this time. I swapped over the summer wheels to winter wheels on the van and Angus's second car this week and the lamp come in very handy as it was dark by the time we got finished. More on this in Fresh goods Sunday soon-

 

I have looked a this magazine a few times but decided to buy this this issue as Mason Cycles are featured in one of the articles. I bought it straight from Sidetracked website £10 + £3 p&p. When it landed a few days later, the magazine come in a lovely strong carboard envelope with "sent from Newstand" Britain's biggest magazine distributor. So I had a look on their website and discovered if you buy the magazine direct from them you don't have to pay the £3 p&p! Here is a link and they do loads of other cycling and none cycling mags inc ones from America LINK
