Eight Knights plus one newbie turned out for the start at Market Cross. The initial route saw us taking the Molescroft road to Cherry Burton then Etton before heading to Kiplingcotes. […]

ContinueDown With the Wind
Following Pugwash’s failed coup d’etat on Friday, another chance arose today to play “route Master” while the Admiral remains in drydock undergoing extensive repairs. “Staggering Stalactites let’s have some ups and downs” thought Pugwash and proposed a nor’westerly route out to Huggate and refuelling stop at Fiddle Drill. Mindful of the rule #87 reminder from […]
ContinueTrip to the HornSEASIDE
The sun was shining brrrrrrrright but there was still a chill in the air after the overnight frost.

Ten Knights turned […]

It was a cold damp start to the morning following the previous night’s rain. Seven Knights braved the chill at Market Cross to head for the Cheese Shop at Howden suggested by Captain Pugwash.

“Shiver me timbers, it’s cold out there” thought Captain Pugwash as he arrived at Market Cross where ready, keen and waiting was the latest addition to the fleet, cabin boy Cueball Dave.

ContinueWindy Road to Fitling
You say windy, I say windy let’s not call the whole thing off. After a lot of humming and heying and hedging bets, we saw six Knights turn out at Market Cross. Pugwash was adopted as route master for the day after suggesting the Spotted Duck cafe as the destination, and he was the only […]
ContinueRamble to Millington
Grey skies and cold air did not prevent a good turn out for Friday’s ride. Eleven Knights turned out at Market Cross, including one newbie. Oh no not another David! Nickname will be required if he signs up. At least he will help to lower the average age of the club! In the absence of […]
ContinueFox and Hounds
Six Knights assembled at Market Cross before setting off over the Westwood to meet up with another four at Manor House. Today’s route was proposed by Heather, however the North Dalton proposal was kicked into touch as a step too far for a cold winter’s day, instead we decided to follow a similar route to […]
