Woah, Is That The Sun?: October 2014

In my time in the UK, I'm enjoyed living the city life, being able to go to clubs, people-watching at city center, and walking to the grocery stores. But being a city-slicker is a change for me. Even when I lived in San Diego, I mostly stuck to the outskirts, and pretty much drove everywhere, except for maybe the 3 or 4 times I ventured downtown. But here, I can't get in my car and drive through the hills, or go behind Clarkson University and walk the forest trails. I needed to get out of the city for a bit, and get some grass under my feet.

Luckily, the hiking club was doing an afternoon hike just outside of Ilkley, a little town outside of Bradford. The train was cheap, and I had already been thinking about joining the club, so I decided this was just what I needed to relax and see some countryside. And I'm so glad I did.
