M.A.D. on the C2C

A deadly day today, reputed to be the most boring day of the trip and oh dear they were so correct. Today consisted of the first 8 miles along tarmac country lanes lined with hedges of 8 feet high. It was like walking down a never ending tunnel. The last leg was a little better through fields trapped between crops and 6 foot deep dykes (that's deep dykes not tall dykes) This is the bit between the the Yorkshire Dales and the Yorkshire Moors, it's pasture land, fields and fields of grass and crops all perfectly flat not a contour anywhere to be seen. At least that's all over now and we can look forward to the moors tomorrow and the next 4 days.

C2C's outside the White Swan in Danby Wiske which is now closed for business. Surely an ideal business opportunity. It's only 10:30 and already queuing at the door.

Looking a bit black over Bill's mothers - typical weather today, waiting for the next spate of rain to hit

Just one more river (road) to cross. The A19, take your life in their hands and leg it when you think appropriate

We've all seen white painted stones on grass verges to prevent cars being parked. This place takes it another stage on and bonds "cats eyes" to them
