Another Spur of the moment ride on Monday..
Decided to re visit "Robin Hoods Bay" on the East coast..
Crappy drizzle and cloud for the first 30 miles or so.. I very nearly turned back as I was only wearing my Mesh jacket..
But perseverance paid off and it turned out to be a gorgeous day..

Photos:

1 & 2 taken just outside Hawes on the way there.. Hawes is a very popular destination for Bikers but can get too busy for my tastes!

The rest of the photos were taken at Robin Hoods Bay..
Because I was on my own I covered the 297 mile round trip at my own pace..
The rewards for that are 59.9mpg !!!
Yes seriously.. She used a total of 4.95 gallons.. (Work it out)..

Kiwifruit

59.9mpg........poor old Sophie would have been gasping for a drink Speedy   :cheers:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Doc Martin is filmed in Port Issac in Cornwall around 300 miles from Robin Hood bay - both are lovely places with very steep hills  :)

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off
