A very steep yellow brick road!

Easter Monday

We arrive in Staithes late in the afternoon (the drive is about 220 miles from Norfolk), and see the first evidence of exercise to come. The village is down a hill that's about 1 in 4, and the car stays at the top... Hey, that'll get the heartrate up!

(Incidentally, I checked just that a bit later in the week, and wore the HR monitor to walk up the hill. Was pleased to find that it didn't go above 140 bpm.)



Looking up the hill from the bottom... and down the hill from the top

It gets better, though. Our cottage - a lovely little place, with glorious views, especially from the sitting room on the top floor - is spread over five floors. Bring on the pedometer!
