A 630 mile cycle tour

Having dusted off an old bike I decided on a new adventure that would include cycling, camping and cooking on the go. These are all things I had not done since my youth but was keen, if a little apprehensive, to try out again. As I was typically staying in fields in the open countryside I have used the nearest town or village as the reference to where I journeyed from and to.

Yorkshire Wolds; the Thixendale-Malton road
