7.10 miles. Boldon - West Meadows - Nissan. No video, because I have not got camera mounts on the tandem yet. Mild and still morning 16c, but, cloudy. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding our new to us Hase Pino Steps, semi-recumbent tandem. All very good fun on our first home area outing. Gave a laugh. to a couple of passers-by.

15.49 Miles. Boldon - Jarrow - Washington Village - Boldon.  No video, because I have not got camera mounts on the tandem yet. Mild and calm morning 18c, and sunny. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding Hase Pino semi-recumbent tandem. Coffee stop at Washington Village. A couple of problematic barriers with tandem, one of which was impossible, and, alternative route very overgrown and neglected. We will have to find a better alternative route,

11.29 miles. Boldon - Whitburn - Boldon.   No video, because I have not got camera mounts on the tandem yet. Sunny, hot and calm morning 22c. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding Hase Pino semi-recumbent tandem. Coffee stop at Whitburn Village, this would be a pleasant stop, if the woman who runs the place smiled occasionally, and, there were fewer barking dogs.

Beginning at Cawston, riding toward Norwich, we go as far as Themelthorpe, and return.  We are staying at a CAMC CL, The Siding, there's is access to Marriot Way, but, it is via steps, too difficult for us to manoeuvre the tandem down them. So, we ride into Cawston, and along to Chapel Lane, to join the route at a level, if somewhat narrow access point. Two vintage 1947 Pensioners, riding Hase Pino Steps, semi-recumbent tandem. Beautiful sunny day, if, perhaps a little hot, at 25c. Wednesday, 13th August 2025 11.68 miles. Cawston - Aylsham (via Marriotts Way) and return. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding Hase Pino Steps semi-recumbent tandem. Very hot, 30c. Cool drinks in The Black Boys pub in Aylesham, and a picnic sandwich lunch near Marriotts way. F...
