It was with some trepidation that I approached the being in charge of the trailer and going to Hull thing yesterday mainly due to the need to get out of bed at 06.30…so I carefully laid everything out the night before…. except for my number plate for the trailer…oops. So if Paul gets any speeding fines next week it’s nothing to do with me that his plate was still there….
Everyone and everything reached Beech Holme in good time and after the usual faffing (or maybe more than usual since there were 2 groups) we were led through some decidedly busy roads to get to the trail to Hornsea. The trail was mostly memorable for the need to get off at every junction due to gates that are not in any way cycle-friendly. So much so that it was a relief to go back onto roads.
Lunch was pre-ordered from Whitehead’s fisheries. Excellent and very large portions appreciated by all, especially me. The return to base was cut short for me and Michelle by a flat tyre that saw us take a ride back in the Beech Holme broom wagon.
Everyone made it back and for some it was their longest Trekkers ride so chapeau to everyone.
Thanks to the Beech Holme folks for their guiding. Made an interesting if somewhat long day out.
