Day 12 C2C Glaisdale to Robin Hood’s Bay

Originally uploaded by flickrkw

After a very pleasant stay at The Arncliffe Arms in Glaisdale we set off this morning, walking through cool, shady woodland, following the river Esk.

Once out of the woods we made our way by road to Egton Bridge, through the grounds of Egton Manor and on towards Grosmont.

A little too late to take a photo we heard and saw the steam from one of the steam engines of the Esk Valley Railway, presumably on its way to Pickering.

At Grosmont we stopped at the tearoom on the station platform and had tea and cake. As we were just finishing a steam engine pulled into the opposite platform and we were able to take quite a few photos before it went n its way. I’ll post the pictures on Flickr later.

It was a 1 in 3 climb out of Grosmont heading towards Goathland past Low and High Bride Stones. Turning left across Sleights Moor we made our way to Littlebeck where we stopped for lunch.

Next we had another stint through woodland and stopped to take more photos at Falling Fosse. Moving on we reached Old May Bank and a clearing with a car park where we needed the aid of GPS to find the path up and over moorland again; this time making a beeline for Robin Hood’s Bay, and the end of our journey.

We did get a bit off track coming over the moors, but found our way onto a road that took us into Robin Hood’s Bay. Our transport home hadn’t arrived so we just had to have a cream tea while we waited.

As soon as the transport arrived we walked down to the beach and had our photos taken with our boots in the water.

The End.
