C2C – Day 17, plus 1: Tuesday 19 April – ROBIN HOOD’S BAY to HOME This morning I was able to rest up and to lie in a little longer than I have been able to over the last few days, before a final cooked breakfast at The Villa guesthouse in Robin Hood’s Bay, aheadContinue reading “I’ll Never Find Another You”

C2C – Day 17: Monday 18 April – GLAISDALE to ROBIN HOOD’S BAY (19 miles) Rob and I discussed the song ‘Wish You Were Here’ as we walked across the moors from Ingleby Cross a few days ago. We used to listen to Pink Floyd together as their seminal albums came out in the mid-1970’s,Continue reading “Wish You Were Here”

C2C – Day 16: Sunday 17 April – BLAKEY RIDGE to GLAISDALE (9 miles) What a whirlwind the last day has been! Those of you who follow Rob’s posts on Facebook will know that he tested covid positive yesterday, after our walk. Together with those present we decided to return home and to defer theContinue reading “Carry On Regardless*”

C2C – Day 15: Saturday 16 April – CLAY BANK TOP to BLAKEY RIDGE (9 miles) A slightly briefer Blog today, to match the day’s short walk.

C2C – Day 13: Thursday 14 April – DANBY WISKE to INGLEBY CROSS (10 miles) For some while we had been eyeing-up today as a rest day; with relatively low mileage, little ascent and fine weather forecast, we anticipated a simple and pleasant day’s ramble. And so it was. Footpaths, farm-tracks and quiet lanes boundedContinue reading “Take It Easy”

C2C – Day 12: Wednesday 13 April – RICHMOND to DANBY WISKE (15 miles) A perfect start to the day! Kedgeree for breakfast (the best this side of the sub-continent) cooked by our hosts Colin and Sandra at the early 17th century Willance House where we stayed in Richmond. Wonderful, thank you, and an aptContinue reading “Badlands”

C2C – Day 11: Tuesday 12 April – REETH to RICHMOND (12 miles) I would just like to start today with a big THANK YOU – to everyone who is following us, sponsoring us, and supporting us in any way. We’ve had so many lovely messages, and it means a lot to Rob and toContinue reading “It’s Raining Again”
