We must thank Terry and his daughter, Lucy for keeping us company today.
Despite the cold and occasional showers we still had a brilliant day. We've ridden some great roads through picturesque scenery, covering 223 miles in total.
After leaving the Little Chef we headed up the A19 and turned off onto unclassified roads which took us through the Cleveland Hills. This was a lovely route along narrow twisty roads and brought us out onto the A172 to Stokesley. From there we headed down the B1257 to Helmsley. The B1257 has to be one of the best roads in the region - even when it's wet and there's snow lying on the verges. From Helmsley we took the A170 to Pickering and then the A169 across the North York Moors to Whitby.
Whitby was busy but we managed to find a suitable parking spot for our two Buells next to the harbour. Our fish & chips went down a treat and Jane became very popular with several seagulls.
