Miles today: 11.03
Total mileage: 190.4
This morning Wolfgang and the dogs dropped us off where they picked us up last night. The dogs took off up the hill with Wolfgang right behind. We got our gear, strapped on our backpacks and headed up the hill. We had gone a short way when I checked the GPS and realized we were on the wrong path so we turned around. About that time Wolfgang showed up again and said, "this is the path for locals, your path is on the other side of the fence." Of course "our" path was steeper and rockier!
So once again we climbed back up to the moors. We had hoped to have some nice views but had heavy fog.
The walking today has been the easiest by far. After leaving the Cleveland Way, the C2C follows an abandoned railroad bed so it is flat and we won't have to think about navigation.
Even though it was clear and sunny up high where we were walking, it was still foggy in the valleys so we couldn't see much of anything. Pretty much the whole day we saw only heather and hundreds of grouse.
This part of the route is so remote that the only thing around is one pub, The Lion Inn; no shops or anything. We're hoping tomorrow will be clearer so we'll finally be able to see the North Sea.
This sounds like an incredible journey. I’m going to have to scroll to the beginning.
