Grounds today - Middlesborough

The Route - We leave the northern outskirts of Middlesbourgh (13 on map) for an early morning trip of only about 7 miles to the Riverside Stadium, home of Middlesborough FC (14 on map) before starting two and a half days of the journey without ground visits.

Leaving our last north east club behind, we head due south on the A19 skirting the Yorkshire Moors towards North Yorkshire again. Longest planned leg of the journey so far, and we are sure our legs will tell us so.

Arrive for our over night stop east of Leeds just short of reaching Castleford (15 on map).

Five days down and we are into single figures now, nine days more to go!

Accommodation - Milford Lodge, Great North Road, near Leeds

Distance - Approximately 70 miles

Distance to Date - 300 miles
