Halifax to Brigg - It's a good job it's downhill!!
Well done, Andrew.....keeps those legs going.
I hope some official party will welcome you home....and Scrib's there to take your pix.
'Hull, Hell and Halifax' - with Hull and Halifax being the last two places in the UK to stop public executions.
In Halifax they used a device called the Halifax Gibbet, very similar to a guillotine, long before the French device...and was used from the C13th.
Sometimes the condemned man was allowed run-off, pursued by a baying mob. If he reached a certain point, he was allowed to go free. There's a pub called 'The Running Man' near the centre of Halifax.
Just make sure you get back to Brigg in one piece......if chased, pedal like mad!!
....just one more thing.....Is that Andrew, or Simon Schama, the historian standing with the bike?
.......don't tell, Andrew where I live, Scribs......I owe him some sponsor money!
