It was very windy today, not uncommon in these parts. The prevailing south-westerly was a-blowing and were off like bats out of hell in a North-easterly direction. I overtook a moped on the valley road, only to be advised by the older and wiser Dennis to make it easy for myself by sticking to its back wheel. I have little memory of this day, so it must have been easy. Out of Wensleydale we rode through North Yorkshire's county town, Northallerton, then the familiar roads back home. I think we arrived mid-afternoon. If this sounds a little anti-climactic, it was. What would we do now? Go back to playing cricket in the park probably.

Northallerton High St.

Michael JenningsAs well you might be. They're exaggerating my prowess. Something went awry during the transfer. I will sort them out.
I hadn't noticed the links to CGOB either, so I'll do that too.
