From Waterloo Station to Great Yarmouth - 20th September 1987

Nosher buys a second-hand bike from housemate Barney, and despite not having cycled much for the last couple of years, decides to cycle from Norwich to Great Yarmouth - around 20 miles. At around half-way (near the Stracey Arms windpump), it's hard going, and a sweater has to be pressed in to service as a saddle softener. By the time Yarmouth is reached, standing up in the peddles is the order of the day. Did anyone say "saddle sore"?. The train is the only way back. Later, there's a trip down south somewhere, which gives a chance to get a few photos of Waterloo Station, and the morning rush-hour.
