Afternoon all . Just finished packing as we are also away next week. Only in our case we are away to Brixham . The last time we stayed there was the year before we were married, which is …… a long time ago 😂. We thought it was a bit of a dump back then ( it didn’t help it rained every day ) . But we stayed near Dartmouth a couple of years ago and had a few days out there and were very impressed how it had changed so when we saw a nice apartment at the right price, we decided to give it a go . 😀

Hope you enjoy it.
We honeymooned in Scarborough.....1968. We were impressed.
We went back for a short break approx 2000.....it was very depressing, so run down.

We visited Scarborough around 2012 and I understood what you mean but it still had a faded grandeur and some charm even on a bitterly cold day in November . 😀

You riding any of the stages while you're there?
In this heat at my age, apart from getting to where I want to watch maybe 5-10km not a chance. I did 25km in France at the start of my trip in 40°C and it was not pleasant to say the least.
