No, the bus costs around 25 quid to fill, and does 300 miles to the tank on a good run. 60 quid should get us there and back Much cheaper than the 150+ in the car!!!!

Friday- Ride to peterborough first thing and get waterproof oversuit. Then to Squires for heart attack on a plate, followed by a ride across the dales en route to windemere.
Saturday & sunday- ride around the lakes etc
Monday, scenic route back to Cambridge

If you are off through the Dales to the Lakes, how about having some decent food at the new bike cafe in Leyburn...The Manor Cafe?

http://www.manor-cafe.co.uk/

Foods far better than at Squires

Squires is conveniently placed, close enough for breakfast, though it's mainly for dad as I shall only have coffee . Apparently the best chips in the world are served somewhere along the A684 so we'll be stopping there too.
