1a ride 28th Feb Scots Corner
A touch hilly and a few more miles as daylight improves. Out to visit the Bunting memorial at Scots Corner near WHB. (We won't get access inside but worth seeing for it's incongruity). Also revisit some detail of Battle of Byland with a consideration of the tactics, numbers and geography. No formal elevenses stop but a couple of chances to snack on the go. Lunch at Sutton visitor centre and further warm drink stop in Helmsley. So come prepared with flask/sarnies. Some dirty roads. Options to shorten if weather deteriorates.
