Day Eight - Whitley Bay to Thirsk



Today James will be cycling from Whitley Bay to Thirsk.  Last Night James met up with Rotarian Rod Clark from the Rotary Club of Whitley Bay.  Thanks to Rod for taking the time to support the ride in aid of Prostate Cancer.




Todays trip will entail going on the ferry - the Tyne is difficult to get over when you have no floats for the bike.




A difficult trip today with Mud, Dirt and off-road sections that challanenged everyone - well James really not nice when it is pouring down.
















Hi everyone Harry Haggis - I know you have all been looking for me yesterday but you know when you are in a strange country - and this is the furthest south I have been - you sometimes have to decide am I going to slow James down by taking my turn to cycle or do you take the easy life and go with Bill and Michelle in the lap of luxury.  Stick to the luxury - so with my headset on and the songs of Moira Anderson and Andy Stewart with Bill adding a little rendition of his own I head for the warmth and comfort.  See you later today -





Don't forget you can donate to James through the Just Giving Page
