Route sign for NCN routes 1 and 165, Whitby (on the highway, I think) - a bit of a missing link on OpenCycleMap
I thought the point about former railways was that they had very easy gradients?

Steps on NCN route 1 on the former Whitby-Scarborough railway - there's a route to the right for cyclists, but it's not obvious.

This narrow footway on the edge of a massive supermarket car park seems to be the NCN1, grim.

A second labyrinthine chicane - showing the level of paranoia about cycling in the area. Again at least there is also a raised table to slow down road traffic.
NCN1 approaching Scarborough.
Really annoying labyrinthine chicanes on both sides of the road - an indication that we're approaching a city that hasn't got much of a clue about cycling.
At least there's a raised table here though.
Horrendous labyrinthine chicanes -

These shared use signs remind us that we're enterring an urban environment again after being for 20 miles in the country.
