Day 24 Doncaster - York 47.23 miles
Fully fueled, John and I left Doncaster and headed for York. The first the miles were on A roads but being a Sunday they were quiet and it wasn't long before we were out of the city.
From Howden the roads were quieter, although we did encounter a lot of farm vehicles all loaded with huge bales of straw, but they were quite enough for John to lie down in the road and take a photo of me cycling towards him or maybe he just wanted a rest! We soon reached the outskirts of York and with John's good sense of direction found the city centre and the road out that we needed.
No bacon buttie today! I started the day with a full English breakfast as we had stayed at Balmoral House for the night, famous for the fact that it appeared in an episode of Open all Hours.

The roads were fairly flat but the surfaces were awful with lots of pot holes to avoid, it is surprising how much faster and easier it is to cycle on a good surface. We headed for Howden where we had arranged to meet Gerry for a coffee and found a cafe where we could sit outside in the sunshine. Once again only a black coffee for me.

Bronwen, John (not my brother) and their children Rosie and Albie were kindly hosting me for the night and here I encountered my first Twinned Toilet!
At least your experience of avoiding Mull pot holes will have helped! x
