The road out of Scarborough definitely showed its best side. With promise of a dryer day and armed with yet more spare chains we set off to short cut Flamborough head and go straight to Hornsea.
This deviation from the NCN 1 turned out to be very pleasant and made easier by a northerly wind. With few tea shops our main focus was on finding a bench to eat oatcakes cheese and apple. This we found and were quickly joined by 2 men from East Riding who were out council cutting the grass verges. The quiet lanes over the Yorkshire Wolds gradually flattened out as we approached the sea and after a brief stop at Mr Moo's ice cream parlour we were soon in Hornsea and Beachside B&B.
