Day 11: Blakey Ridge to Grosmont

Yet another brekkie, and another morning setting off wondering what the weather has in store...

At least we can see where we're going today, beautiful bleak moorland, with the grouse cackling at us as we walk.

The views across the moors back towards the lion Inn are amazing - although we seem to be walking big zigzags today, around one ridge then another with views into green cultivated valleys showing the contrast of the moors above.

From the tops we then wound down into Glaisdale to follow the river through Egton to Grosmont - which Les would have loved as they had steam trains!

Stayed at a lovely b&b right opposite the pub so I didn't even have to put my boots on to get dinner!

Feels weird as it's our last night before finishing - we can't quite believe we've made it this far. We're so close to our goal we're just hoping the feet get us to the end as they're really hurting now - think we'll be finishing on painkillers and Mars bars...
