Day 14 - York to Lowestoft – 358 Miles.

Its amazing how well you sleep in your own bed, I really found it hard to peel myself out of bed. However, we were loaded up, and heading back to the coast by 7am. From Scarborough, we headed south, through Filey, Hornsea and down to Spurn Head. Due to the Humber, we had to go west to Hull and over the Humber Bridge. Once over, we could head east again and south towards Skegness (a jewel on the Lincolnshire coast!) and Gibraltar Point for a cup of coffee!

It was then inland to Boston, and the relatively quick roads round King's Lynn and the last northwards section up to Hunstanton.



















Then we were on the north-Norfolk coast road, which is a lovely area, (and yes I am biased!) From Blakney to Cromer is absolutely wonderful, with loads of attractive villages and some tempting looking pubs. Onwards towards Great Yarmouth, where there seemed to be a fairly major bike-meet, sadly time was against us so we didn't stop.

Our final destination was Lowestoft, and we got a photo of the bear in front of the south pier; list done!!




















We then needed somewhere to stay, and we found the Heathland Beach campsite, where the lovely people let us stay for free as we were supporting Help for Heroes. We also had lots of people come up and chat to us, the couple in the next tent even brought us some BBQ ribs!

Tomorrow is our final day, less than 300 miles to the end...
