After a full English fry up yet again Kidder has to sort out yet another flat, then
it's of for another long hill climb. The pair stop and take in the
views around Near Moor and look across to Whorl Hill, they make go
progress along Scugdale and Raisdale before dropping down to Chop
Gate. Lunch was had looking down on Chop Gate from Urra Moor, at
about 1,490 feet, they had unwanted visitors as millions of big
fly's hovered about. The pair headed on and picked up the old
disused railway on Stockdale Moor & big ringed it to the Red Lion
Inn at Rosedale Head stopping briefly, so Chiefy could bang some air
into a slow front flat. (He had ridden for a few miles with it
flat, lazy bugger)
After a pub lunch of Guinness & healthy sandwiches they cruised down to Lastingham on the
old rail track around Rosedale Rigg. Picking up the tarmac they
headed to Cropton and onto Newton-on-Rawcliffe for a pint, but the
pub was shut and didn't look biker friendly anyway. So yet again it
was big ring to Pickering for some food. They found a little cafe
and have coffee and buns sat in the sun before moving on to
Thornton-Le-Dale and the nights B&B. The B&B guesthouse was slap -
bang opposite the pub, so Kidder & Chiefy rode straight into the
beer garden for well earned liquid refreshments. The local chippy &
park bench were the venues to eat & the highlight of the evening was
a monster truck blasting out tunes on a deafening sound system in
the high street. |
