  • Day Off in Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby

    11. august 2019, England ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

    We have been pretty lazy today but we needed the rest. So we took a planned day off and spent it wandering around Robin Hood’s Bay and Whitby. We didn’t walk to far to save our feet. We walked down to the beach at Robin Hood’s Bay, to finish the Coast to Coast properly. we took a bus to Whitby, which was very busy with a regatta happening and loads of tourists in town. Tomorrow we head to Scarborough by bus and then Berwick Upon Tweed by train and then Melrose by bus, to start our next hike - St Cuthbert’s Way. Apparently Scotland is having its wettest August on record with major flooding to the west and road and train closures this past weekend; so we’re very fortunate we were able to do the Coast to Coast with only rain, wind and wet feet to worry about. We’ll pray to St. Cuthbert for the next hike.Les mer
