Harrogate man spots 'lost ring' in the dark on popular Nidderdale Greenway
A Harrogate man has discovered what appears to be a missing wedding ring on one of the town’s most popular walking routes.
The resident, a keen runner, was out one night this week on the Bilton-to-Ripley bridleway when he spotted something below shining in the dark.
"We had just turned onto the cycle path, from Bilton Lane, when I caught a glint coming from the ground near the edge of the path,” said the man who wishes to remain anonymous.
"It was a ring. It looks like a wedding ring but I can't make out the stamp on the inside."
The Nidderdale Greenway has proven very popular with cyclists, runners and walkers opened it opened in 2013 and is used by hundreds of people each week to go from Harrogate to Ripley and back.
The Harrogate man who found the ring says he will drop the ring in at Harrogate Police Station after contacting this newspaper in the hope this very personal piece of jewellery can be returned to its rightful home.
“Is there a possibility something could be mentioned in the Harrogate Advertiser? he asked.
"It’s a very nice ring and it would be great if it could finds its way back to its owner."
