Caistor

A drive from Royston, Mon, 24 Jun 2019 by David Howard

Being almost the longest day of the year it was the best time to head north to a new Myriad, and sunny too. The bonus was after checking there was a set of pre-Worboys directions in the centre of Caistor. It was an easy trip, including the only known bottleneck through Lincoln, and had plenty of time to cover more of the county coming back, carrying on till Royston when it was almost dark.
