I have been up in 'Gods Country'... stayed at Burythorpe ... 4 miles South of Malton near York. Was up to attend my Uncle Ernies Funeral in Scarborough. Decided to make it a bit of a sojourn and visit my Mam and Dads old place too... Its been a great therapy for an exile... one thing I did notice about a lot of the towns and villages of North/East Yorks was their Cricket grounds... I passed a lot of so called 'village' grounds and wow they were absolutely fabulous. I guess that area is really a hallowed ground as far as cricket is concerned just lie west Yorks is a Rugby league bastion. But before anyone jumps on me... My Uncle Ernie and my Dad were Massive Massive cricket fans.. hence my look at the various town/village grounds I looked at. stayed here http://www.burythorpehouse.co.uk/ http://www.bing.com/search?q=burythorpe+house+hotel&src=IE-SearchBox&FORM=IESR02 nice place and very cheap too
