and find there’s a park you can go around is there big Nature park or something if it’s open let’s see if the cars still here so we’re at Central Park yeah SK Thorp Central Park I think this is like a little kids kids play area and stuff to can you not hear me talking to these people watching our video and you rambling over it it’s going to make it hard for them to understand what I’m saying this Cafe how I could explain it in a nutshell that’s said to this rusty old Cafe so we got this kids play area you’re right in the sun well I’m not looking into the Sun so we’re waiting for a tea and then we’ll go for a wand around it’s it’s a funny building isn’t it I think they’re all like football pitches and stuff over there that was like the longest wait for two T’s I’ve ever had in me life it was like 25 minutes or something on it 25 minutes to wait for a cup of tea about 20 minutes yeah it was quite a long time 20 minutes for a cup of tea stop moaning that’s all I’m going to say stop moaning the people only realized of camera just how much moaning you’ve done my hips aren’t hurting I’m not tired of course you’re not nothing but there’s this uh FY place fountain’s not on there’s no water in it wherever we seem to go like salute is just just dried up fountains w’t it that’s cuz we either come too early or got too late so this is the pods the pods which Katherine says looks groty and on inviting I mean the brambles are growing up down there a little bit aren’t they and stuff like that but yeah the pond looks all right don’t look don’t look nasty or anything look in fact there’s some fish down here look I can see them in the water but this is a Leisure Center is it kind of facility gym but yeah there’s tennis courts a gym yeah let’s have a look see what is here so there you go need to get back to good yeah My Views exactly let’s go and this is the start of the Central Park bit we just walked out to have a look at the pods didn’t we and you was unimpressed with it so we’re heading back in these are L of rams and stuff so let’s head back into Central Park in skun skunthorp not New York America yeah and uh and see what else what other Delights there is in there you probably won’t see it very good here cuz there lights on it but just football pitches around here let’s go a little bit further the path just see if there’s anything but well I think they said something about some Woods up this way you don’t want to walk around the woods well we’ll just go and have a quick look all right not in the woods but take a few steps back are these brby Woods is that what these are but we’re going to have a walk around anyway and see where it goes but I think it’s coming back onto a narrow Main Road up here L can see the cars through the trees maybe it does a big circle and goes back around but it don’t look very deep I’m sure I can see houses through that side how old was they five 85 what yeah 85 95 what 38 is it yeah 38 come on then someone’s obviously made a little Memorial there’s nothing remarkable about these Woods is there no it’s just like a little Loop that goes around a few trees I think if you look through there you can probably still see
