When walking around 10 hours per day all we seemed to do was have breakfast, make lunch with ingredients purchased by the crew, drive to the location, walk, drive back to the accommodation dog tired, have a wonderful dinner prepared by Bronwyn and Cate, write the blog entry and fall into bed.
Today we drove to the locale of Clay Bank Top prior to the walk so that we knew exactly where to meet.
We left Danby Whiske at around 9am, unlike the last few days the weather was dry. There was lots of farm walking, we eventually met with the A19. The run across 4 lanes of traffic is generally considered the most dangerous aspect of the walk for most people, especially since the English generally drive well in excess of the 70mph speed limit.
Lunch in Ingleby Cross was followed by access to the North York Moors where we followed the Cleveland Way.
The track was designed by a sadist, for the last few hours we climbed 200 metres and dropped 200 metres sharply on 4 to 5 occasions. It was extremely slow going, we finished at Clay Bank Top around 7.30pm absolutely spent.
Distance covered - 39km
Distance remaining - 62km
