Day 15 Blakey Ridge to Grosmont





Got to be a very quick initial posting. Arrived Grosmont Guest House, no wifi and no phone signal. However if we rush we can get to Grosmont Bookshop before it closes we can update.

Another bright sunny, but cold day from Blakey across the moors into Fryup Dale. Tom and Gill Barnes had arranged to meet us in the pub at Glaisdale. This being 9 miles from Blakey. We arrived right on schedule at 12.30.

After the usual beers and chips for lunch we set off on the final leg of the day to Grosmont. After about 200 yards we had the surprise of meeting Liz and Mal Greaves coming to meet us from the other direction.

So it was great to have company for the last 4 miles, all aches and moans forgotten – good to have somebody else to talk to! A bonus at Grosmont where there are steam trains. Dunc and Tom could go back to their childhood days of trainspotting and “cabbing”.

In haste to get to the Bookshop.

Last night, tomorrow Robin Hood’s Bay.

Dunc and Pete
