Finish Line*
C2C – Day 17, plus 2: Wednesday 20 April – Back Home Settling back into home life, I would like to share some of Rob’s photos of his arrival at the North Sea, on Cattersty Sands east of Middlesbrough – a full day before I got to Robin Hood’s Bay! Of course I love aContinue reading “Finish Line*”
I’ll Never Find Another You
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 B&B in Robin Hood’s Bay, aheadContinue reading “I’ll Never Find Another You”
Wish You Were Here
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.

Carry On Regardless*
C2C – Day 16: Sunday 17 April – BLAKEY RIDGE to GLAISDALE (9 miles) What a whirlwind the last day has been!

Here Comes The Sun
C2C – Day 15: Saturday 16 April – CLAY BANK TOP to BLAKEY RIDGE (9 miles) A slightly more brief Blog today, to match the short day’s walk!

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