Not a problem going down, but coming up is a real drag at least for me!

Is it not the case that people who live at the bottom are allowed to drive their cars down there (and back up of course) providing they have a place to park?
There are certainly no public parking places at the bottom.

For anyone visiting the Yorkshire coast, there's a fantastic place for such a treat between Brid and Scarborough. It's called the Stained Glass Centre and as well as various showrooms they have a wonderful cafe and lovely well kept gardens to sit out in, weather permitting. Been there today, not warm enough to sit out though!
I Can recommend 'The Beverley Garden Centre' and 'Hornsea Garden Centre' a plethora of cakes and scones....

The thousands of times we have visited Scarborough [I go at the drop of a hat] but have only just realised that it was there. We shall look in on out next visit to Scarborough, provided the sun comes out again....
Dull here again this morning, but it's not raining!

Don't you like running in the rain Foxy!
My daughter did the 55 mile Hardmoors from Helmsley to Guisborough on Saturday and loved every minute, fortunately it was a good running day. I wish I had a fraction of her energy!

Re: Over 50s Club Yorkshire
Wow that really is an achievement Foxy, you will have trained for months if not years to be able to run that distance. I know my daughter did a few slightly shorter practice runs just before the event and took advice on diet etc. Anyway it paid off and like you, she raised a lot of money for charity.|
