Day 8 - the final push!!

Hello to what is the final day! We get up early so we can fix the broken bike, we get it sorted, have a full english and hit the road for the humber bridge!! It was a shorter day then the days we have had all week and we arrive at the humber bridge around 1pm. We travel down through scarborough, filey, bridlington and into hull. Its a lovely welcome back as we are met by some of our followers and we all get of our bikes and out of the van and shake hands and congratulate each other on what seems to have been a long epic journey.

Day 7

Not long to go now and today we get up and the weather is not looking good at all. We put on our waterproof riding suits and set off to our next stop, Whitby! We had been riding around 30 minutes when we are forced to stop at a petrol station and talk about the weather conditions. The rain is terrential, the roads flooded and it is decided it is far too dangerous to carry on riding. We could not see out of the helmets and as for traffic in front, I personally could not even read my speedo! After 30 mins the bikes are back on the road and the ride continues. We finally arrive in Whitby around 5pm where we start looking for somewhere to stay. We find a campsite in whitby and as we pull into it, Ricks bike decides it has had enough for the day and all the electrics cut out. After a quick nosey around the problem is found and all it was is a wire at the back of the ignition that has come out.

Day 6

Day 6 saw the team travel from Fort William round to Johnshaven. This was a very long day which was very tiring. We travvelled round past Loch Ness which was really nice. The weather was a bit dull this morning and we had a quick shower but nothing major at all. The riding condition was safe and we got off well. We have seen some lovely views on this part of the ride and arrived at a campsite in a little fishing village called Johnshaven around 5:30pm.
