Steaming ahead...

This morning, I donned my walking boots as we left the Royal Oak in Gillamoor. Kathy drove Robert, Urs and I up to The Lion Inn at Blakey to carry on with the walk to Grosmont. It was our penultimate day.

It was lovely to actually get a chance to walk through the heather and across the grouse moor; where we came across some beaters pushing the game towards the butts further up the hill. We had a long walk across Glaisdale Moor and were very delighted to meet up with Kathy at the pub in Carr End for lunch.

We then had a nice walk through the gladed Esk Valley. Across several fords that were as a try as a bone, but we did get to walk across some stepping stones.

It was all excitement as we headed towards Grosmont as we passed a crowd of people heading across to the Grosmont Beer & Music festival. Then in Grosmont itself we got a real show with the steam trains!

Urs and I stayed in the Geall Gallery where they cooked us a lovely meal that topped of our night. An early one again, all this walking malarkey is hard work!!!
