We have just had the very energetic Horton family staying with us. Mum, Dad and the two children, Josh 14 and Sarah 11 stayed in the Hayloft here at Flamborough Rigg Cottage for a week and the grandparents, David and Anne stayed at the B&B for 4 days.
One of the reasons for visiting North Yorkshire, as the Horton family love cycling, was to explore the Moor to Sea cycle route.
The whole family rode the 18 miles from Scarborough to Whitby along the disused railway line. The route takes in Ravenscar, Robin Hood Bay (where they stopped for lunch) and then over the amazing Larpool viaduct into Whitby.
On another day their grandparents dropped the family in Pickering with their bikes so they could ride the 7 miles of the trail from Pickering to Low Dalby and if that wasn’t enough the family then rode the excellent trails laid out by the Forestry Commission in Dalby Forest! David and Anne chose a more sedate visit to Scampston Walled garden collecting the family from Dalby forest enroute back to Flamborough Rigg cottage.
They promised that they will be back to more of this 80 mile route in the Autumn…..for now they have gone home for a rest.
Obviously I can’t ride a bike which is a shame as they said it was brilliant! Maybe Phil could get a trailer on the back of his bike to pull along Meg, Lily and I.
