Day Eleven
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's my birthday! So of course I fully intended to take it easy today. You can imagine how that went!
As I was scouting for a place to sleep last night, I bumped into someone doing the exact same thing with his own laden bike, and turns out we were attempting the exact same ride! he was 14 days out of Wimbledon, and we happily chatted and traded experiences and tips for nearly half an hour before parting to find our spots for the night.
There's a great sense of community with most cyclist out and about regardless of what we're each doing, but bumping into another tourer is less common and almost always an occasion for a quick stop to trade tales and plans, and there's a wonderful sense of camaraderie that goes with it. So far this trip I've also chatted with a Dutch guy heading home from Liverpool, a German couple riding the coast to Plymouth then on to Portugal, and a couple from Zurich on their way up to Shetland. As I did at the time, I wish you all the very best!
After waking near Ryehill, I eased into the day with a walk of the bike along the nearby bridleway down to Patrington, where I had a long stop for a good brunch.
Once a bit rested a fuelled, it wwas time to get back on the bike and on to the coast once more. First stop, the very picturesque beach around the Spurn by Kilnsea.
There isn't much in the way of ridable trails out here, so then it's back on the road for a ride up to the seaside town of Withernsea, where I treated myself to an ice cream.
A challenge arose after setting off once more as an unfortunate accident between a motorbike and car meant that the road ahead to Roos was blocked, and would need a fair diversion to get around, and the alternative road had been very recently destroyed due to coastal erosion.
Thankfully with the assistance of a very helpful local I was guided across some fields and managed to drag the bike straight across the top of the crumbling clifftops, a little hairily at times but eventually leading out to the back of a caravan park where I was able to get back to the roadside.
With the connecting road closed, it was happily mostly traffic-free for much of the ride up past Aldbrough, though also with little to note for it aside from getting some more miles in and dealing with some steep hills.
As it stands I'm not just a few miles short of Hornsea, and given the exertions of the day I think it may be time to have a bit more of a rest and then find a spot for the night, before rolling into town early in the morning.
Thank you everyone for the wellwishes!

Kilnsea - Yorkshire, UK
The final night shift of the rotation awaits me. I am days away from completing the second year of my training and this most valuable and unforgettable chapter is drawing closer to an end.

Sun-faded information board at Kilnsea Sound Mirror. Looming over empty fields near Spurn Point like some brutalist satellite dish, the sound mirror was basically an early acoustic radar system, designed to listen out for the engines of enemy Zeppelins! Not many people come out here and see this monolithic ruin now. I think it’s amazing. It features proudly on the cover of my new album The Phantomatic Coast, set to be released next month - will post more about this soon… https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQfz0QMM1V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
