To Glaisdale
August 9, 2019 in England ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
We started out today from the Buck Inn in Chap Gate. The walk started as a slog uphill but then it was pretty level after that. The weather was awful. It was driving rain with probably 60 km winds gusting to 80 km or so. Visibility was also bad as the mist was at our elevation. After a long trudge of 4 hours we arrived at the Lion Inn which is located on a road that cuts through the moor. It was great to stop and have lunch and take the wet stuff off. After lunch we set out again. The mist was still bad but the rain stopped and then it began to brighten. We had sun and warmth for the last few hours into Glaisdale where we are staying at the Red House Farm. Tonight we went for dinner with Andre and Ruth who are also traveling the Coast to Coast and staying at the Red House Farm. We got a cab to the local pub and back as it is a 20 min walk one way. It was a long 30 km today and our feet are sore from all the wet weather. Tomorrow is 31 km and is supposed to be wet again. It’s our last day on he Coast to Coast tomorrow.Read more

Finish of the Coast to Coast Walk
August 10, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
We had another long day of 31 km. We made it to the end at Robin Hood’s Bay around 5 pm. It was very windy all day. We didn’t have any rain though, until the last ten minutes into Robin Hood’s Bay when the sky opened up and it poured. We arrived at the B&B (the Villa) soaking wet and the owner dried us off with a towel with us still wearing our jackets. The Coast To Coast Trail today was a little frustrating as it seemed to turn south then north then south again even though the ocean is east. It climbed and then descended only to climb up again. It took a long time to get to the ocean even though we saw it three days ago. We haven’t yet been down to the beach and the official trail-end due to the bad weather, but we have the day off tomorrow and will do so then.Read more
TravelerCongrats on completing the hike. The weather sure didn’t help! D.

Day Off in Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby
August 11, 2019 in 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.Read more
