lightwiter valleys ok. not amazing but something to do.

york is good for a drinking session on the day, night lifes ok, but normally when we go there we go through the day then go somewere else for the night.

newcastle is a good night out, though could imagine taxi back to ripon would be expensive :D

york races, not sure if theres anything on this weekend but cant beat a few cheeky bets if there is

Ripons got a strip club.. haha!!

I only hear the seedy side of Ripon because its where some of the lads stayed when there was no room at Leeming for us..

Harrogate is supposed to be lush like.
