York in Febuary
hi all,
I'm spending three days in york staying at the best Western Dean Court hotel near the end of Febuary. As some of you are local to there I was just curious as to what else to do other than the railway museum to stop me entering a state of wife induced shopping/Minstering catatonia. Is the hotel any good? Bill

can't say whether the hotel is any good....if you live near york you wouldn't use it!
 ...........now, activities....erm....... york has a fine free art gallery, the castle museum is worth a wonder, cliffords tower is interesting in an olde worlde way. I quite enjoy a stroll around the city walls, its good exercise, free and you see lots of the city. Takes about 2 hrs. There is the York dungeon and Jorvik museum (haven't been in myself!) and there are organised ghost tours of an evening and a couple of theatres which might have something on. If you're really lucky there may be a farmer/european market in the centre with some fine food and drink. Of course you can always hop on the tour bus or the tour boats and have someone point out the fun stuff. Nearby theres a farming and aircraft museum if you venture further afield. Anyone else think of anything?

Meet? An opportunity to marvel at the poverty spec of my car? Sounds fun. Depends on wifey really.
