Ingleby Arncliffe to Claybank Top (12 miles)
Hello loyal blog-followers! As I said today was a day of ups and downs, both physically and mentally. The physical part consisted of a total of six uppy down hills along the Cleveland Way. The mental part was that there seemed to be an endless chain of hills. We left our B&B in good spirits at 1030.

We began to climb the first hill (Beacon Hill) and stopped for a rest thinking we were very high compared to yesterday's flat fields.

Finally we climbed to Hasty Bank and the Wainstones before walking down to Claybank Top and the journey's end.

PS. We have checked Paddy's paws and they seem in working order, especially as he continues to be at least 5 yards ahead of us each step of the way.
Highlight of the day: seeing the North Sea.
2 more days to go!

ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are nearing Journey's end. Its quite a trek isn't it, but what an achievement.
Enjoy the rest of the walk - when I click in next you will have probably finished!!

ps ask Sherpa Dad if he is back to work on Monday as the office is decidedly Marie Celeste today - only 5 people in.
Paddy is obviously a good scout to go ahead to 'recce' for you all.
ReplyDeleteWell done all on the day's mission.
Not long now, can you smell the sea yet?
Brilliant! Expecting to hear further developments soon. Robin Hood`s Bay is not so far away.....
