It was warm; very warm. And it was windy. Great when the westerly was behind us; not so when pedalling into it. But on balance, a benefit for the 12 Trekkers on today’s circuit around Church Fenton; it helped us all from overheating. That said, a number of us did take advantage of a campsite tap to replenish our supplies of Yorkshire’s finest water.

Staying with the theme of a tailwind – as if the Mark-Muz tandem needed any assistance from nature, Muz apparently discovered that by standing up, whenever pedalling allowed, his body could function as a sail, thus keeping the momentum going for that much longer.

And on returning to the Fisheries, it seemed that ice cream and cake was more popular than their chips!


Yet another grand day
