and it was sunny and beautiful! we had a delightful 5 mile stroll today(our shortest day yet) and arrived at a lovely farmhouse with lot's of cats, cows and lambs and a classic friendly farmers wife. Today we had cute male company with a white fluffy dog-a friend of Immos(the boy not the dog). Then the day before we had some of the Daly family as Jo said. All this was sweetly distracting.
The day before was the biggest challenge.....trudging for miles and miles(22 to be precise)through extreme weather(gale force winds and freezing rain)across the bleak and potentially beautiful Yorkshire Moors.....there was nowhere to shelter, my waterproof pants leaked yet again and I was cold and soaked through and felt like i was walking in a wet diaper! We tried to stop to eat our cheese and branston pickle sandwiches in the rain but we got too cold and had to eat walking. It was a test to say the least but we all survived!
Today we really saw the sea on the east coast and it looked so amazing like a deep blue mirage. We were looking down on Whitby which is where dracula arrived in England(I didn't know he came here but apparently he did). Today is the summer solstice so we plan to do a little ceremony. Immo has sparklers and I have a twirling thing that lights up when you throw it in the air plus we are going to do a debriefing. Tomorrow is our big day....eleven miles to Robin Hood Bay. I think we are going to make it yeah!!!!!!!!!!!
