Why drive up to 4 hours to ride on a beach? What about the East Riding?

LOL!!!

I posted "preferably less than 4 h drive". No idea what's around that's why setting this up to 4 hours radius.

The shorter trip, the better.

There's a fair stretch of sand between whitby and sandsend and an old train line (the cinder track) that leads south to Scarborough. If you parked at sandsend you could ride the beach to whitby hit the cinder track come off at robin hoods bay. Ride that then go back via the cinder track.

The East Coast is really beautiful. Northumberland is awesome but obviously a longer drive

Blackpool. at least then when you find out just how dull it is you can console yourself with an exciting donkey ride and a bag of chips.

Ps. the coast is 70miles or less from any point in the UK

Thanks once again.

I can read map good enough to realize that coast is not that far from my place any direction I choose.

Rather after piece of advice like [b]ianfitz[/b] posted 🙂

Sorry. I'll try to be more like [b]ianfitz[/b] for you.

There's a fair stretch of sand between Edinburgh and Hull. You will find you'll need to divert off the sand at points and follow more interesting coastal paths and roads but it's all fairly obvious from simply looking ahead and using common sense. If you parked pretty much anywhere along this stretch of coast you can ride the beach and coastal paths in either direction and head back the way you came or bail onto a road if you end up short of time or perhaps didn't enjoy some stretches all that much. With a little planning the East coast train line could also come in quite handy for returning to your car.

The East Coast is really beautiful. I grew up on the coast and as a boy explored long stretches of it by bike and on foot fairly often without ever looking at a map. I myself am familiar with the entire stretch of coast from Edinburgh to Alnwick. for me it is committed to memory but in hindsight a map may be just the thing for you.

I hope this has been a little been more helpful.

Spurn head too far away?

or towards the other end. I hear plenty bikers have ridden the channel of Floaty heid

I hope this has been a little been more helpful.

Much more descriptive and helpful indeed Sir 🙂

Northumberland's rubbish, miles of endless sandy beaches with only a few people on and pubs along the way. Honestly it's terrible.

Yep. Hateful place. No history, no decent beer, food's rubbish and the locals are utterly miserable unwelcoming people. I'd avoid it if I was you.

Fantastic pics [b]motorman[/b] 🙂

Good plan for the future, but no more holiday left in this year.
