fellow travellers pushing up the hill	Trevor pauses before the climb
Trevor reaches the top...	...and carefully lays down his cycle (not!)
Derek at the summit	a well-deserved drink in Pennistone
	Trevor tightens his peddles after all that punishment
	Worsborough Mill
Day 4 Worsborough to Hessle 85 miles Rob (2nd from right) joined us for the last couple of days	Father and son (Ray & Rob)
Lunch at the Old Mill Brewery in Snaith
	a bisciut break at the tidal barrage on the Humber
This was one of the hottest days of the year (32oc)
nearly 55 completed, only 30 to go	Derek's gear table

Trev goes for energy	but Ray goes for something stronger
but plays it safe	Photo: Ray Hudson Ice cream stop!
this beautiful view over the Humber was	...probably not worth the climb!
Trevor wins the dirty T-shirt competition
Our evening destination...	the Humber Bridge was a welcome sight
	our overnight accommodation was very elegant
with an enormous conservatory	and games room
