Day 6 The end of Cycle Tour de Yorkshire

Another sunny start for Wolds Village to Beverly. Our accomodation, called Wolds Village was a lovely, quirky place with lots of art work and antiques located in the rooms and dotted around grounds. The food was delicious and it was a shame that we couldn’t stay longer. Having consulted the written notes some of the […]

Day 5 Cycling Tour de Yorkshire.

Hunmanby to Driffield. Overcast and threatening 70% rain. Let’s hope it is wrong. Last night we stayed in a room that was at the top of a spiral staircase.
