Leaving Ganton, with a quick peek at the 14th century spire of the local church as we left

Following the acorn symbol (national trail) across the fields

Stopping to consume our last packed lunch

The finish line (still in the same place one day later)

Yorkshire Wolds - Day 6

Ganton to Filey
19.3 km (but we cheated a little)

Another day of sunshine and light winds for our final stint on the trail.

We got a bit of everything on this leg. Farms, villages, meadows, woods, dales, valleys, and a variety of walking surfaces. It was lovely to see glimpses of the coast, especially knowing that it was the finish line.

Today was our shortest distance but confess that we cheated. We had to walk 1.5 km past our accommodation to get to the finish point on the headland, and then back again. When we got to the outskirts of Filey, we unanimously decided to go straight to a hot shower and a celebratory beer.

We'll put on fresh bandaids and shuffle out to the finish line tomorrow .Read more
