Miles today: 49
Miles so far: 363
I checked out of the hotel at 8:15 and nipped into Aldi to buy drink for my journey and a few packets of Lebkuchen on special offer. By 8:30 I was on my way. As I left Scarborough, this was the view behind me:
There was a 16% climb (that's 1 in 6 in old money) for 3/4 mile just outside Scarborough. Apart from that, it was a pretty flat or even downhill route.
Within 2 hours, I was coming up to 20 miles, and my rarely achieved 40 miles before a 1 o'clock lunch was actually achieved today.
It soon became apparent that my arrival time was going to be nearer to 2 than 4. Even with another rest, I still managed a 2:15 arrival in Beverley. It was nice to finish early before nightfall and rush hour traffic.
As always, with Brian and Susan, I have been well looked after and fed.
A lazy day tomorrow before 59 miles to Wakefield on Saturday.
