3 GG Yorkies met at a bench in Haxby to cycle the streets searching for more benches.

Each were assigned their own area to scour. 45 minutes later they reunited at the meeting bench to confirm that there really weren't that many benches in Haxby.

Our findings will be reported back to the council so that they can let older and less mobile folk know where they can rest their legs if they go for a walk.
