Our last trip this year before we put the van to bed for the winter we drove to Robin Hoods Bay to stop for 4 nights at Hooks House caravan park.
Misty on arrival and next day fog covered the site and bay but as soon as we drove out of site towards Whitby there was none!
Drove to Grosmont and did a 7 mile hike over to Goathland across the moors, with a little veer off course (its Roy's speciality). Arrived just in time to see a steam train come in. Good job we didn't choose tomorrow to do this walk as The Flying Scotsman is coming, it will be manic! Lovely flat trail back to Grosmont on cinder path. Roy had a little reminisce at the tunnel where there used to be cottages where he stayed as a child for holidays.
Tuesday, another 7 mile walk from the campsite down into Robin Hoods Bay then up along the cliff path to Boggle Hole ( tide was in so couldn't walk along the beach). We had to stop for a coffee/hot chocolate and a shared cake despite only having walked half a mile! Inland then on peaceful tracks which seemed mostly uphill but with views back to Ravenscar! Past Ramsdale Mill, Fylingthorpe posh school then on to another cinder path and back.
Our last day, we walked from the site along the Cinder path to Stoupe beck, sadly tide was still in so we went over the cliff top to Boggle Hole for the obligatory tea, hot chocolate and cake. Still the tide was in so more climbing out of the Hole along the cliffs to Robin Hoods Bay and back to the site. Roy said it was about 4 miles! I reckoned 5 at least! We had a bit of a sea fret while eating lunch at Stoupe Beck then amazingly the sun came out.
