Great day out today with THM & Our Jimmy... parked up this morning in the road next to Station Car Park, Robin Hoods Bay, (well this is Yorkshire and we’ll not waste brass) nice 6 mile climb up to Ravenscar Station on the old Cinder track railway route.
Our Jimmy freewheeling most of the time whilst he waited for the old steel boys to catch up. Near the end we decided to have a crack at the tunnel that cuts under Ravenscar point.
it’s not really rideable (especially without lights) I wasn’t sure about it, but the really big kid insisted.
Arriving safely out the other end on the old platform
6 mile freewheel back, for sausage rolls & cake (we’ll not pay cafe prices!)

You’re ‘cautious sensible dad’ impersonation was admirable. Golden years?
An open doorway into an unknown, unlit, curving railway tunnel was irresistible to me. I was 50 yards in before they had the chance not to follow.
Thanks for persuading me out. Thoroughly enjoyable day.

Not surprising, in the summer months it’s so overgrown that it’s almost impossible to findBeen on holiday as a kid to a cottage at Ravenscar. Never knew about the tunnel or old railway, interesting

The Tunnel? No more than 200m I'd guess
The entrances are deep in the undergrowth, a quick look at Google maps satellite view shows the route quite clearly.
Quick screen grab below shows roughly the route people normally ride in solid red, the dashed red line is the route we took.
