A Horrid factoid- cycling is allowed on the Horrid Hill causeway, and most mornings you will be beaten to the Point by one or two regulars. The Park is part of the
National Cycle Route 1, which runs from Dover as far north as it is possible to get. And then some, finishing in Shetland. How getting from John O'Groats to Orkney, then to Shetland, actually works, is not clear. But I rather like the
wikipedia mention of the North Sea Cycle route EV12, of which the NCR1 is part between Harwich and Shetland- "Links to Norway to continue the North Sea Cycle Route are presently unavailable."

I've been told not all comments are publishing. There seems to be a problem between Blogger and Chrome, and I'm being told if you have a problem you should try a different search engine.
All a pain in the proverbial. Sorry! I'm a luddite/technophobe (still won't even have a mobile phone) so much else is beyond me..
If still doesn't work, pls send me a DM/post to my twitter a/c @dunnokev to let me know- thanks! Kev 18/12/21
