Day 9 - Just When You Thought You Can Take No Moor

The weather had cleared and we were technically in for a shorter day. We had a minor sleep-in and did not get on the track to 9am. From Clay Bank Top we climbed up onto the North York Moors, following an old railway line for 10 miles to Blakey Ridge. We saw nothing more than several thousand sheep and the odd walker.

After refreshments and lunch at the Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge it was back to more moor walking for the afternoon. We passed Great Fryup Dale and entered Glaisdale at 4pm; the first time we were truly on time.

We both are feeling worse for wear; Chris has a sore calf and limped for most of the day, Bill has swollen feet and both now have a significant number of blisters.
However, only the one day to go.
