Sarah's TET Cherry, Day 3.

 How quickly time passes when you're having fun!

Waking at Park Hill B&B, a superb establishment with off-street gated parking, sherry in a decanter in the room, an honesty bar, wonderful host, and Salmon and eggs for breakfast we set off for the final day. 


The first lanes start before Patley Bridge and were somewhat difficult on the mahoosive Africa Twin. It had been raining and the road tyres felt like wooden clogs on a frozen pond, still, it kept it all very exciting. 


Despite the rocky and difficult ascent, Sarah kept the 125 'shiny side up' suffering only one or two stalls on the trickiest of sections. 


A castle, beyond that I know nothing.  A real educational tour! 


Our final TET lanes were those that traverse the dales between Patley and Masham. We had to make way for Bush beaters and shooters, but who is gonna argue with a shotgun!

 The whole area is crisscrossed with tracks and I feel we are barely scraping the surface following the TET.  Perhaps I'll join the TRF or Glass to explore more on a future trip. 


We both had to concentrate crossing the dales, whilst it's not technical in terms of climbs or decent, it's certainly difficult to keep a bike tracking straight over golf ball sized loose gravel! 



Our trip drew to a close at Masham with a celebratory cake and coffee. Not one 'off', or drop or spills hard marred Sarah's virginity trip, even the elephant remained upright! 

I wonder if she'll sell the mountain bike or upgrade her bike license?


The TET section we completed is shown below between the markers. Very impressive for a first attempt.
