135 Miles in 48 hours,
from Selby Abbey to Durham Cathedral!
We did this 135 mile journey to raise over £4000 to 'pay for a day' of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. See our sponsorship page here. Thank
you so much to everyone that helped.
!!!!!TRIP REPORT COMING REAL SOON!!!!
It was the 3rd
time we've made the trip to Durham Cathedral, although the 2005 trip began at York
Minster rather than at Selby Abbey. We set off on the Easter Bank Holiday
Friday (6th April).
- Early
evening on Friday - we left from Selby Abbey at approximately 4:00pm. cycled an easy, flat 25 miles stopping briefly at Riccall St. Mary's Church
and York Minster for a photo shoot! Then onwards to the camp-site at
Linton Locks just North of York - a gorgeous place by the river. We dined at the Blacksmiths Arms in Newton on Ouse;
great food
and beer! Craz and Gary had pitched the tents earlier in the day as a
nice surprise to the group!
-
On Saturday morning we set off for the White Horse and
a hill climb up and over the Yorkshire Moors - the support car carried our tents,
equipment and a change of clothes to the campsite on the foothills at the other
side of the Moors. There we camped in a lovely pub beergarden, enjoyed another great
meal and a few more beers before hitting the sack again.
-
Sunday morning, up early for a hearty breakfast
and then set off down the bank into Middlesbrough, along to
Hartlepool for lunch by the sea and then work our way inland to Durham Cathedral
and the finish line!
The route was mainly traffic
free - trundling through countryside, amazing views and some fabulous industrial
architecture in
Middlesbrough. We took it easy, plenty of time to do it. All riders felt exhilarated when
they finished at the huge doors of the impressive Durham Cathedral.
