Day 13 - Grosmont to Robin Hoods Bay - done!!!

Another (unexpected/unpredicted) beautiful morning. A series of very steep climbs on the roads out of Grosmont-we feel a lot fitter now, thankfully! Over the moor and Whitby Abbey came into view, then thro pretty woods with a welcome t stop at Falling Foss. More moor walking to Low and High Hawsker where we had a lunch and refreshment stop knowing there were only 3 miles to go! Finally we reached our destination of RHB after what seemed like miles of cliff top walking.

We wet our boots in the North Sea as Wainwright tradition exhorts and celebrated with other Coast to Coasters in the Bay Hotel, somewhat pleased with all we had achieved and a day earlier than planned! But that meant no luxury B&B but a steep trudge up and out of the village to our campsite for the night.

Good times and best wishes to you and you family Mark and Mad Maddie.
