[HAMR] 21st September - Teethgrinder Day 45/264

[Clare]

Well he's away in a nor'easterly direction and Auntie Beeb is suggesting a band of the wet stuff is on its way towards him.

GO STEVE.

[tonyh]

Hope you are continuously kept warm and dry (enough) by feelings of the achievement, especially the recent days but including all of them.

[Clemo]

Have a good day Steve 

[Justin(e)]

Allez Steve

[lahoski]

Just checked teh forecast... methinks he may not be returning southwards today...

[SoreTween]

I'd just been pondering the same thing having spotted he'd passed The Wash without turning and concluded same.

Go Steve

[Shreds]

Well, its a pleasant sunlit evening about twenty miles from where TG currently is, so escaping Northwards through Lincolnshire seems to have been a good move. Not sure how far Steve will go tonight and whether it is a planned host stop-over or another TravelLodge night.

Either way, keep those pedals turning Steve!

[danridesbikes]

yup, its a lovely evening here in Lincolnshire, he's a bit North of me currently and while the rain was hammering it down around 5pm, its now a very pleasant evening, blue skies, wispy clouds and barely a breeze

[Shreds]

So was that a missed turn over Gunness bridge or just a deliberate trip up to the delights of Flixborough and back before crossing the Trent bridge at Gunness?

(Maybe the bridge was very unusually open to River traffic?)

It can be confusing if you don't know it, to get up onto the bridge coming from the South East side).

[Shreds]

Now in the delights of central Doncaster approaching at 22:55.

Is it a Travel Lodge search?

[Shreds]

Looks distinctly like Doncaster Lakeside Travel Lodge as tonights destination

[Wowbagger]

344k. Mental arithmetic tells me that that's 215 miles. Excellent!

[hellymedic]

I am sure Steve knows the geography of Doncaster and Lincolnshire's flatland VERY well, having been initiated to them with Bernie's rides while but a young lad...

he missed the bridge

wouldn't have thought so 

The bridge has not been lifted since 1956. The bridge was widened and the headroom increased in 1960 and the bascule was fixed in position

[danridesbikes]

was my brother that spotted him

He wanted to get to York , but had missed keady bridge and this was in flixbough , I suggested Humber bridge but to many hills in South cave for him . Instead he changed his mind n went to donny . 165 miles at flix and he wanted 200+ . Nice bloke
