Sue the landlady and Chris, our well travelled advisor at the Red Lion.  Due to a cock up, they applied for 24 hour licensing when resubmitting their existing license.  They then ran a promo for beer with breakfast!  It made "Look North" on the Telly.

In Leeds now, a bit of a dull photo really.  The view out the window from the hotel we were staying in.  Alex's course was 5 minutes walk down the road.

This was the Allen Road stadium, over the road from where we were staying in Leeds.  We only found out as we were leaving that the NZ vs. Aussie League game was being played there that night, and there were heaps of tickets left. :(
