Meglet Aug 2016 12:56pm, 13 Aug 2016 16,942 posts	0 Meglet All the benches in Harrogate have this snake design (tricky to see, there's a snake head at the top and head underneath. ) I am always amused by this bench and the lack of view, which I drive past frequently.

LindsD Aug 2016 6:46pm, 13 Aug 2016 11,341 posts	0 LindsD Oh I've seen that before. Perhaps somewhere else in Yorkshire.

Meglet Aug 2016 8:35pm, 13 Aug 2016 16,943 posts	0 Meglet You're probably right Fleecy, there would be a nice view behind that hedge. Linds, the only other place I've seen those benches was Berwick upon Tweed
Meglet Aug 2016 8:45pm, 13 Aug 2016 16,944 posts	0 Meglet I was inspired to find out why all the Harrogate benches have snakes. So the serpent is from the Greek god of health due to Harrogate being a spa town. I've even found a place you can buy them! logic-sf.co.uk

Velociraptor Aug 2016 8:55pm, 18 Aug 2016 34,334 posts	0 Velociraptor I hacked my way up a hillside to a non-honeypot summit today and was impressed to find a huge cairn, a shiny orientation plaque, a stone windbreak, a stray fell runner, and a bench.
