Set off to go to York last Saturday but ended up in Leeds as a result of issues on the East Coast Main Line.

Leeds Midnight Bell in top form in Whitelocks ... also sampled Lest Best in the Scarbrough Arms, Shepherd Neame Bishops Finger in Becketts Bank and Acorn Barnsley Bitter in Leeds Brewery Tap.
