Robin Hood’s Bay to Scarborough – It‘s Alright Ma, I’m Only Walking.

As Bob foresaw there was darkness at the break of noon. But by then we’d had an early breakfast and hit the muddily meandering Coast path to Ravenscar. With a view back towards RHB.

Getting a bit of a sweat on with climbs and falls due to streams cutting little valleys on their way to the sea. But we can handle it.

Then up to Ravenscar on the top of the cliffs.

We got a cup of tea to go in Ravenscar and switched from the undulating Coast path to the Cinder Trail, an old railway line. No steam trains here.

We got wetter and wetter. Richard’s phone lost it’s ability to take photos and mine just packed in for good, destroyed by damp in my pocket.

By mid-afternoon we’d made it to Scarborough, with a speedy sprint along the defunct railway. Well that was a decent trip.

The 5 highest peaks in England and 226 miles across the Northern uplands. I won’t do the Coast to Coast path again, it’s no doubt stunningly beautiful in summer but there are many, many walks to do. Enjoyed it and at least I got a trek in 2020. Suck that you dirty Covid bastaaad!

I’ll let you know what I’m up to before my next adventure.

Night night. Love Dave. X
