πŸ˜‘πŸ˜ πŸ˜°πŸ˜΄πŸ˜ŸπŸ™ŒFinally finished tyring day the wind has been against us for the last 2 days non-stop and will be tomorrow apparently. Started around 8ish andcrossed over a river by ferry at south shields about 20 miles away at South Shield's Light house apparently the first electric lighthouse where we had lemon cake and went though the exhibit (Is that the right word?).

Lunch was at 1:30 in The Albion a Pub in Ryhorn which was very nice and they were already asking for bookings for Xmas! We went in alsorts of places Google took us we made it reroute at the end by not going down a track. Also we had another puncture, it forgot to mention yesterday's they we both on the back wheel and yesterday's one went through the tyre itself! We are camped at Billy Jean's Campsite Stockton on Tees (it's 15 miles from Stockton on Tees). I don't feel so tired right now it's only 19:25 but we will need an early night.
Next day...


We left Billy Jean's Campsite at 7 to get to the the transporter bridge at 8 and we arrived on time. Unfortunately the company changed to time so it only opened at 9:30 so Tessie came back over from the other side as she went over another bridge and waited with us as we had nothing to so till then.


Our first stop was at Saltburn a small little coast stop where me and dad had drinks then continued to Staithes. We got to Staithes by going down a steep hill and bridge at the end and after the best cream tea I ever had we found Mum at the top of a hill out of the main part of the town. Mum gave us pasties and that was our lunch. We decided to meet at Whitby but as it was so busy we decided not to.

Whitby seems full of people we had to walk through the crowds to cross the river there and get to the other side the bridge turned sideways in the middle to allow boats through which was fun to watch. On the other side we drank at a nice cafe with a really interesting wall with lots of posters on. Finally we only had to cycle 5 miles to Robin Hoods Bay and we are right now at Book's House Campsite on the side of a hill. It's quite nice here and apparently we will only have to cycle 20 miles at the maximum tommorow.πŸ™ŒπŸ˜„
