splitting the train journey

I cycled from Hornsea to Halfax a few months ago, about 80 miles, so should be about the same to Hull, depends on your speed, but took me a good few hours

If you do get the train over, it may be cheaper to split your journey & book tickets in advance, ie Halifax to Leeds, then Leeds to Hull

just checked the train prices...
sowerby bridge to hull - £24.30 return
leeds to hull £12 return! plus sowerby bridge to leeds approx £4 each way but I have a metro card!

definitely worth it! cheers

thanks for all your replies - we had a fantastic trip...

only downsides were finding signposts - to the ferry port in hull - we ended up scarily cycling the wrong way downa dual carriageway on the verge for a few hundred metres! and it was a bit difficult to work out where we were going in zeebrugge - we weren't lost but weren't quite sure that we were in the right place! but we know now...

so much better to cycle over there - it's like a different world!
