Gill came to meet up with me this morning at 7:30, breakfast was in the pan over the fire just as Gill turned up, we set off just before 8:30 at a nice steady pace covering 13.6 Miles in a horrible muggy heat, we set of this morning from Hagpot (Newby Hall), drove round Ripons bypass and up out of Ripon for a blow (a blow is a rest) we hen carried on with a huge patient cue of traffic behind with double white lines in the centre, drove on past Light water valley and through South Stanley then stopped for another blow, we then carried on into West Tanfield and stopped at the church to talk to a lovely lady and got Peggy water from the church yard tap.
Now the biggest hill so far West Tanfield bank, it doesn't seem much of one in a vehicle but it's a drag and it goes on for around a mile, we made it and got to the top then it's all down hill to masham from which is nice. We're now pulled onto a piece of common land right beside the bridge which is peaceful, all mod cons now I have Irish tunes playing and the two canaries are hung in a tree singing their heads off, defiantly not singing Irish.
Now a day of rest as we have an early start tomorrow 6am 🤔🤔 to drive in some cool weather before sunrise.
