Leeds Armoury

On my first trip to the UK (October 2015) I was fortunate enough to visit the Leeds Armoury in Leeds, UK. I had a few days off between bow making workshops and I decided to take a day trip north to visit one of England's three royal armouries.

​The trip started out a bit hectic,  despite my best efforts to figure out the train times online to make the journey as smooth as possible.  My first train from Birkenhead to Liverpool was stopped mid journey for mechanical issues.  After a twenty minute wait we boarded a different train to complete the Journey into Liverpool.  After running down the tunnels and up the escalator I arrived just in time to watch my train pull away from the platform.  After an hour wait and a cup of coffee I was on the next express train heading north to Leeds.  The train seemed to travel really fast so I asked the conductor just how fast we were going and I was suprised to hear that we were clipping along at 90 mph.
