COASTAL VIEWPOINT

Well . . . we did a 20 mile ride today . . . although I gave in and ditched the shorts !
Full of apprehension, our ride today began with a 25% gradient in a heavy shower. Later came more rain and hail and wind  . . . and then the sun came out. Thanks T for a grand plan. Sadly two more punctures due to hedge cutting.
Main image shows the view across the bay from Kettleness back to Runswick Bay where Riversider’s Guide to Tearooms and Cafes swings into action. #RGTR10 – CLIFFEMOUNT HOTEL, Runswick Bay. Made most welcome in our very wet and bedraggled state, grand coffee and scones, and an even better view. Rating 5/7
The extra shows T cycling under one of 5 remaining bridges across the old Whitby, Redcar & Middlesbrough Union Railway near Kettleness. Images of the railway can be found here.
A grand day out . . . now time for a bath and a whisky . . . in reverse order !
