 Full of
breakfast, & thunder clouds looming they set off, a cheeky little
climb up to Silkstone Common. Stopped at the Old moor wetlands
centre for a break, and then on, trying to keep the wrong turns down
to minimum. They arrived in Bentley for lunch, sandwiches and a pint
or three and then on to the night's pit-stop in Selby. From Bentley
to Carlton the two Bicyclemania.co.uk trail-finders came across no
sign's to point them in the right direction, so inevitably they get
hopelessly lost and wasted valuable day-light hours trying to get
back on track.
A point to note, the trailfinders said 'Some of the surfaces
on this section are quite trying to ride on, thick gravel'.
Arrived in Selby late, A small child on the canal bank fishing said
to Jon as he passed by "Alright kidder" & that's when it all started
from. It is now fixed in the small brains of Kidder & Chiefy. All
the restaurant's closed when they wet out for some grub, they did
manage to grab a take-out pizza and a few pints. (Nice
barmaids) |
