ushaw college, durham. nov 10

[scrappy]

i was up in the area for a few days and thought it was about time i did the drive in to Durham to see this place, its a great place to have a quiet wander around. i picked the worst day to go it was cold and started raining heavy while i was walking up to it! i did get spotted but in all fairness it was a snowy owl that decided changed rooms when it saw me, didnt get any pics as i left him alone.
