This cafe is only open during the working day whereas Tommy's used to be open until around 10.30pm. I still go into 'Wharfe-View' whenever I'm out riding that way, & have been for the past 20 years.In fact I'm aiming to call in, as a reward to myself, next Sunday (starting at 11:30) as I'm running with lots of other escaped lunatics in a fell-race up on Ilkley Moor (390 finishers last year!)It'll be the second 'proper' fell-race I've done, as I did 'Stanbury Splash' at Haworth last month, & the 'Harriers verses Cyclists' at Bingley (organised by Bingley Harriers, last November)http://www.ilkleyharriers.org.uk/index.php?page=imrSo, if there's anyone off of the site wondering why there's people in shorts & vests (or whatever), dependant on the temperature/conditions charging around Ilkley Moor, now you knowAnd..... if you're up there, give me a wave & a shout of encouragement, I'll be wearing this top (be it the long-sleeve, or short-sleeve), complete with a 'hi-viz' yellow woolly hathttp://www.flamingphotography.co.uk/imgs/galle ... _0274.html
