Defeated by UK transit
Planned to go to Sledmere yesterday so I took the train from Hull to Driffield to catch a bus to Sledmere. At Hull tourist info I was given the bus timetable and number and assured the bus runs at least 5 days a week. Got all the way to Driffield bus station only to be told the bus only runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Which means a new sport of extreme travel timetable juggling has just come into being.
Took the train back to Beverley and sightsaw in the Minster, which was much less crowded than in York. Consoled myself with wandering up and down the market street. Beverley was a happening town in the Middles Ages, it has not one but 2 markets: the Wednesday market (held Wednesday and Saturday) and the Saturday market (held Satrudays.).
Not much else to report. Haven't actually seen much of Hull. Yesterday after I got back from Beverley I went to the Princess Quay shopping mall and had it nearly to myself; apparently driving rain all day puts some people off looking for shoes, how strange. Did not actually find said shoes because it seems British women only wear super high heels or flats, neither of which are overly practical for lots of walking in wet weather.
