Going down to Rosedale (but no rider by my side)

I finally had the van door lock looked at, and a new piece fitted, so decided to take it up Sutton Bank for a test - thankfully I had no problems at all (although I had fixed a bungee to the door just in case).

It was a lovely sunny day up on the North York Moors, and after a short mooch about I went down the 1:3 Chimney Bank to the Howard site in Rosedale Abbey for the night.

Sadly I had packed liver instead of steak - yuk. The site was ok as it wasn't full and I managed to get a place with no neighbours, but was one of those awful linear ones that look like a car park.

It was good to be out on the tops in the sun and I think Dad would have approved.

A break in travel notes to remember Dad

Sadly Dad died on 11th May, so travels suspended. I did spend a few nights in the van on the drive - a handy extra bed in extremis.
