MUSTON GRANGE CAMPSITE NEAR FILEY COVID FREE BREAK

 

8 October to 12 October 2020  MUSTON GRANGE CAMPSITE NEAR FILEY.


In this crazy year of Covid 19 we have escaped for 4 days to the coast before winter arrives.

A lovely quiet campsite, we had a wander down the lane to the cliff path only about 10 minutes away.

Next morning after a rainy start we drove to Speeton and parked in the church and cliff car park, headed to the cliff path and enjoyed a bracing fine day with occasional sun. Saw hundreds of gannets at Buckton cliffs while enjoying our lunch.























On Saturday we drove to Cayton caravan and motorhome campsite to meet up with Very old friend Beachy and his partner Joan. We enjoyed lunch with them, had a lovely walk along the beach at Cayton Bay, a place neither Roy nor I had been to before, then met up again in the evening for a meal at The Bull Inn Gristhorpe.

















Our last day was windy and changeable, we walked from the campsite along to Filey then on cliff path towards Cayton, a two- and half-hour walk. We stayed dry most of the way until we got back to Filey then it poured down.

A lovely break from the dreaded Covid!

ORCABER CAMPSITE NEAR AUSTWICK

FIRST CAMPING SINCE CORONA VIRUS LOCKDOWN SINCE 23 MARCH 2020

Thinking life will never be normal again, we booked into this site for 4 nights.
Weather was disappointingly not as stated but good to change the scenery.
Our first day we met up with a very old friend  and his new partner and enjoyed a lovely day in Settle having a coffee then a meal in the very strange surroundings of the pub with socially distancing in place.

Second day we walked about 7 miles on the Twisleton Scar near Whernside and across from Ingleborough.

Our last day misty and few sprinkles as we did a 5ish mile walk to Victoria Cave. They say they found remains of elephant, Hippo, bear, rhino spotted hyena, deer and Roman human occupation! Fancy That!
