Making our way south....

After a very relaxing time with Bill we hit the hills of the Yorkshire moors. A few "pushes" were necessary up some some quite steep and long inclines...the views on top however were gorgeous, the heather was flowering as far as the eye could see (when it stopped raining of course!) We made our way to the coast through Sandsend, Whitby then on to Scarborough. York was a short train rine inland so we spent the day in this very nice city checking ou York Minster and the National railway Museum amongst other sights.
Travelling south we passed through Hull and over the Humber bridge into Lincolnshire. Bike riding is superb in this county but already we are seeing trees turning into their Autumn colours and leaves falling.
