Ed & Sue's Adventures

We are cycling with 4 friends setting off from Hilperton, near Trowbridge, to Bristol, with an overnight stay in Bath. My compatriot worked at Sheringham school in East London in the 80’s with Sally & Annette. Their husbands conveniently both named Dave make up the cycling peloton of six. We met at midday at an […]

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 […]

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. It was interesting, to say the least, getting the bags and ourselves down them this morning. Fortunately the hotel had taken our, over packed, bags up […]

Morton to Hunmanby and another sunny morning. Practice makes perfect. Another breakfast, the depositing of bags and the collection of bikes went like clockwork. To make a change we started with a down hill ride through Morton. The down was shortlived as we turned out of town and were launched into a series of uphill […]

Pocklington to Malton by the high and low way. Nice sunny weather. Because I have been busier than I want to be, and as I was finding it difficult to locate hotels on the cycle route, I decided to hand the challenge to Skidaddle, so on this trip our luggage is being transported for us. […]

Beverly to Pocklinton the long way and the sun is shining. Ok so I lied it is not all on the flat, or even on tarmac. The day started well. Before we were 100 yards from the accommodation my compatriot managed to get her chain firmly lodged round the bottom bracket. I managed to leaver […]

Our first cycle tour in 2 years and looking a bit different from our French rides. This is a circular ride round the Yorkshire wolds. I have promised my compatriot we are only doing the flat bits, and it might even all be down hill. After an hour queueing at the Humber bridge due to […]

London to Droitwich. Breakfast in the Lancaster Hotel. Good byes and extract the van fron it’s overnight parking. Then navigate out of London for the final 100 miles home. Great trip which raised a lot of money for the Buttle UK charity. We promise we will be back with a Mini. Little did we know […]

Alarm goes off at 5am and we are on the road by 5:45 in the dark and rain towards the Tunnel. The aim is to arrive before the designated 10:30 and get an earlier crossing if possible. We arrive just after 09:00 and pull up to a booth. As I am booking in there is […]

An exciting start to the day with two police vehicles outside reception and a ruckus on the first floor. This then ended outside the dinning room while we were trying to have breakfast with the police holding two men on the floor. It was rumoured to be to do with some prostitues not being paid. […]
