Had a walk round the campsite waiting for the rain to stop one thing I have noticed with the many times I have been to this campsite and been sat with the door open the flies are different to anywhere else in Britain its as though they are drunk or stupid definitely strang.
Cycle into town rain started again so sheltered on the sea front and got chatting with a “local” intereasting!
Stopped to sea if this was finished yet maybe soon.
These 2 chairs outside this shop are odd.
After lunch a cycle up to The lighthouse at Flamborough head passed these 2 additions to a campsite.
The wind coming back was unbelievable could have got blown off. Called in to look at the new Garden centre on the golf course across from the campsite.
Awhile back I posted that a have started having an apple a day a friend said its not enough so I have increased it to 2 FAB EH?
Moving day today to York so a coffee with friend before leaving about 1215 they are very very strict about arrival here not that it stops a lot of people. Got told off by wardens for arriving late by 5 mins!
Not a lot going on while catching up with friends a few cycles yesterday up to Ripley Castle down the Brown way again playing ride the waves (over tree roots) dodge the squirrel and dodge the horse poo.

Cycle into town again this morning for coffee and watch the locals BUT they knew when the Enforcement teams would arrive and disappeared. Spotted some river litter pickers and a lovely relaxing spot by the river hammocks.
One thing I have noticed when cycling around the area all the brambles have been sprayed with killer spray.

Had a bus ride into Whitley Bay for a last coffee before leaving for Stockton on Tees. short 1 hour drive but a bad accident on A19 4 miles from the campsite car ran into the back of a steel carrying artic then crashed into the centre barriers must have just happened no police there checked later and the road closed.
