December 27, 2023,Sutton Bank to High Paradise Farm

Bike ride from Sutton Bank visitor centre to High Paradise Farm and back.

I know this route is lovely in good clear weather.

We hired a bike trailer from the visitor centre so that the boys had some protection from the wind and rain, which was a great move.
