Awayday – Pocklington 19th March 2025
Starting Venue: Pocklington
Route Length: 60 miles
Climbing: 650m
Route description: A ride around the Wolds taking in Millington Pastures, Beverley and Market Weighton. NB If a coffee stop isn’t required then the 9km detour to Hutton Cranswick and back can be ignored. After North Newbald (72km) the Sustrans route takes you up a mud track for 2km. This is OK in dry weather but the RWGPS route has now been amended to avoid it and now includes a stretch of busy A road. Take your pick!

Toilets/Refreshments at start: Toilets are in Railway Street near the Bus Depot (5 mins walk away). Free. No local cafés that are open – bring a flask if coffee required before setting off.
