      Robin Hood's Bay

      June 22, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

      This little village on the Yorkshire coastline used to be a smuggling hotspot. It's a beautiful bay from a distance, so we headed down for a better look. We should not have done this! It was a steep, one-lane street used by two-way traffic, mostly delivery trucks. Scary! So we got out of there and didn't see any of it.

      If we come back, we'll walk down.      Read more

      … das war Robin Hood’s Bay früher! Das malerische Küsten-Dörfchen mit den steilen Strässchen ist voller Winkel, Ecken, Treppen und Durchgänge - ideal um Verfolger abzuhängen! Wir amüsieren uns bestens durch die verschiedenen Häuserreihen zu laufen, rauf und runter, vorbei an bunten kleinen Türen, und das ganz nochmal in der anderen Richtung - herrlich! Rahels Garmin-Sportuhr meldet: Mehrfaches Erreichen des Treppenziels 😅😅😅Read more

      Robin Hood’s Bay

      January 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Die ersten Meter im Linksverkehr sind geschafft!
      Jetzt wollten wir uns erst mal schön die Beine vertreten und waren das malerische Dorf auf den Klippen an der Nordsee erkunden. Wir haben uns direkt angekommen gefühlt. Die uralten windschiefen Häusschen und engen Gassen haben uns gleich gefallen.

      Die erste Dose Cream Soda hat nicht lang auf sich warten lassen und wurde sofort probiert. Diese Limonade schmeckt nach Vanille Eiscreme und wäre in Deutschland vermutlich ein Kassenschlager im Sommer.

      Nach diesem schönen Zwischenstopp ging es weiter an der Küste entlang Richtung Norden.      Read more

      Are we there yet?

      June 21, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Yes of course we are!!!
      Our last day was just perfect. We were a little daunted by the distance, about 28 kilometres, the longest yet, but it wasn’t so hard. The weather was sunny but cool, perfect for walking and the route varied.

      We started early and headed for Grosmont where the local station is a out of Harry Potter, old fashioned level crossing gates and a beautiful little station. They still run steam trains on the regular route from here to Whitby sometimes. Today the steam train was in for service so we missed it.
      Then it was up to the penultimate Moor. The route up was on a road but incredibly steep, a grade sign on the way up said 33%. Try riding up that Dianne.

      From Sleights Moor we could look down on Whitby. Then it was down to Little Beck and a walk through Little Beck Woods passing the Hermitage, a large hollowed-out rock, then Falling Foss, a little waterfall and coming out to Midge Hall. Midge Hall is an old game keepers cottage beside the Beck that now runs a little tea room. More cream tea anyone. Luckily the midges weren’t biting.

      Then onto Sneaton Low Moor. We had our lunch stop looking down to Whitby, the North Sea getting closer.

      Finally we were onto the cliff top path, for the last 5 kilometres into Robin Hood’s Bay. So we finished as we started, along a cliff top.

      Robin Hood’s Bay is tucked around a headland so we were almost there before we got a glimpse of it. The end in sight!

      The path brought us to the top of this little holiday village, right past our B&B, so had a quick pit stop, met our host, dropped our bags and headed down the steep narrow road to the “beach”. The tide was out so it wasn’t the most attractive beach but we duly performed the ritual of tossing our pebbles into the North Sea. On the way down we had tied a Coast to Coast tea towel to a walking pole. We lowered the flag on the beach, folded it and gave it to Allison our leader.

      The final ritual is a beer at the Bay Hotel and signing their book. The beer? A Wainwright’s of course.

      We had dinner with Group One and swapped stories about the trials and tribulations of walking the Coast to Coast.

      We now have a rest day before heading off tomorrow. Anyone like to go for a walk? Last post tomorrow.      Read more

      Cream teas and sore knees

      June 22, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      But there was a lot more to our 300+ kilometre journey. Tomorrow we disperse to visit relatives, return home or continue our travels to Sardinia, Shetlands, Norway .......
      We had a rest day today, many of us took the opportunity of the local bus to Whitby. We’d seen it from up on the moors, now a look up close. Another ruined Abbey. Some of the buildings around the abbey were fine, a youth hostel in one.

      We’ve seen Fells and moors, becks and tarns, sheep, dry stonewalls, more sheep, narrow gates, stiles, muddy bogs, baby grouse and Nine Standards, St Sundays, Kidsty Pike. Three national parks, Lakes District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. We’ve seen ruined abbeys and quaint old local churches, stone way-markers and old barns and country pubs. We’ve squeezed into tiny rooms and little attics up steep steps.
      We’ve met fellow walkers and the locals. There were miracles along the way, a pole found, sun glasses replaced, new boots acquired just when needed.

      The views have been spectacular, the moors and fells wild.

      Our group was just the best, full of fun and good cheer. We coped with blisters, sore knees and feet, tired muscles, a thunder storm, not enough toast, and one day, no breakfast at all. We tried lots of local beers, had fish and chips and steak and ale pies.

      This is the last post, happy travels everyone.

      Am ersten Abend fahren wir an die Küste in die Robin Hoods' Bay wo wir im Ferleigh Bed and Breakfast übernachten. Die Villa ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und die Gastgeber sehr herzlich. Der Blick aus dem Fenster über die Bucht ist atemberaubend.Read more

      Robin Hoods' Bay

      October 5, 2018 in England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Nachdem wir im Bed & Breakfast richtig britisch gefrühstückt haben mit Tee und Würstchen machen wir uns auf, die Robin Hoods' Bay zu erkunden. Eine inhaltliche Verbindung zur Figur des Robin Hood ist nicht belegbar, der Name scheint willkürlich gewählt. 

      Um in die Bucht zu gelangen müssen wir erstmal eine steile Straße die Steilklippe hinunter und dann entlang der Sea Wall. Der beschwerliche Weg lohnt sich allemal. In dem kleinen Fischerort mit seinen kleinen Fischerhäuschen mit engen Gassen wandeln wir auf den Spuren der Schmuggler. Mit Taschenlampe bewaffnet erkunden wir einen Schmuggler Tunnel zum Strand.
      Es gibt auch ein Dinosaurier Museum, das hat am Freitag aber leider geschlossen. Fürs eigene "fossile hunting" am Strand bleibt uns nur wenig Zeit, weil die Flut schon kommt. Das Wasser steigt sehr schnell und man muss aufpassen, dass es einem den Weg zur Bucht nicht abschneidet. Gerade noch rechtzeitig kommen wir mit schon eingelaufenen Gummistiefeln vom Strand zum Aufgang zur Bucht.
      Wir kaufen noch ein paar Postkarten in einem der vielen niedlichen Souvenirläden, bevor wir im Nieselregen auf der anderen Seite die Treppe hinaufsteigen. Weiter geht die Fahrt in die North York Moors.      Read more

      Pub Abend im Victoria Hotel by the Sea

      October 4, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Nachdem wir unsere Sachen ins Bed & Breakfast gebracht haben, machen wir uns auf den Sonnenuntergang über der Robin Hoods' Bucht zu bestaunen. Zum Abendessen gibts eine ordentliche Portion Fish und Chips mit reichlich frischgezapftem Bier an der Bar des Pub im um die Ecke gelegenen Victoria Hotel. Louis muss sich mal wieder an "Appletiser" halten.
      Das Pub ist sehr urig und gemütlich, so wie man es sich vorstellt. Die Portionen sind echt riesig und lecker. Heiraten, wie in der Werbung auf der Herren Toilette angepriesen, möchte ich hier aber nicht.      Read more

      Day 41

      Robin Hoods Bay

      June 1, 2018 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      We were woken early again by birdsong but managed to doze off again and slept until 8.30am, which is late when camping! We set off at around 10am and walked to Robin Hoods Bay. We thought it was delightful with lots of little streets and alleyways. We wonder how many actual residents live here - we think the majority of the cottages are holiday lets. We enjoyed some delicious ice-cream down by the harbour and then enjoyed visiting the National Trust shop and an Art Exhibition with watercolours by a local artist. We then wandered back to the campsite via St. Stephen’s Church, Fylingdale with an interesting tall tower. Back at the campsite for lunch and we are now enjoying a lazy afternoon in the sunshine. So that has been our day!Read more
