Day 3 going to Yorkshire and attending a movie premier!

Hello!
I'm still in the UK so I thought I'd tell you what I've been up to.

I woke up in Edinburgh and went to bed in Yorkshire. A four hour drive to get there, we stayed at the Leeming Wells hotel



 Not bad. I had a whole room to myself while my dad and brother shared a two bedroom right next door to me. Not bad indeed.


We then drove down to a chapel in a small village to watch the premier of the movie Mountain Biking, The Untold British Story.  We got comfy and sat down with our curry's.




 My dad played a big part in Mountain Bike history and he is interviewed in the film!



He started up the first successful mountain bike company Muddy Fox, it has since changed ownership a few times I'm guessing!
But still does mountain bikes and is going strong!
The film talks about the beginning of the mountain bike era and how far it's come, and the competitive side of the industry.
By the end of it I was near tears, and ready to jump on my bike and explore the world.

 I thought my dad was going to drag me to this boring documentary thing about bikes. UGH.
But it turned out I was wrong, the film is not only interesting but emotional and funny. It leaves you wanting more.
Also there were goodies bags! This makes me feel like I'm prepared for a big adventure with my bike now, I'll be fully equipped.
