Day 10 - The End of the Road

We got up early to ensure a triumphal entrance into Robin Hood's Bay later in the day. We were underway at 8am and were at Grosmont a few hours later.
A large number of train enthuisiasts were hanging around the station, there was both a steam and diesel engine at the station.
The last long ascent up Grosmont Hill up to the moor, then some woods walking with the famous Hermit's Cave carved out of rock followed.
One of the things about Alfred Wainwright and the walk he devised is that the walk never goes directly towards the ultimate destination. We almost walked to the Abbey at Whitby on the coast before turning south to Robin Hood's Bay.
We saw a sign indicating 2.5 miles to go, however, we had slowed right down and it took us almost another two hours to complete.
There was no marching bands nor spectators to greet us, apart from the applause of the 2 crew. I guess all the seaside tourists were wondering what the 2 oldish guys walking slowly towards the water were on about.
We dipped our boots in the North Sea and we were done.
Both Chris and myself would like to acknowledge the wonderful efforts of our partners; without their help we would not have made it.
