I heard there were Sevens on a run through Butter Tubs Pass today, from Masham, so we tried to go and watch them all drive through, but didn't see any.
After at 8am start I drove the Ruby to Butter Tubs and up through the pass, then turned around and came half-way back, so waited next to a cattle grid from about 10.30 till nearly one o'clock. Never mind, an excellent day with plenty of sunshine and super scenery. Some mist and rain on the tops but then sunshine to visit a cafe in Hawes.
122 miles today, the most I've ever done in one day in the seven. Another 'first' for me was changinging down to first gear while on the move in the seven, changing down second to first thus avoiding grinding to a halt. Easy when you get used to it. There are a few steep bits needing first.
