Day 7 Reeth to Catterick Bridge 15.45 miles. The hotel was a grotty hole

evicted ourselves the manager threatened to call the police! I told him to
call the police as Trading Standards would be interested too! Luckily we
found another place a few hundred yards down the road.

Day 8 Catterick Bridge to Ingleby Cross 20.14 miles went over the moors
and arrived at lunch time- lunch was not very nice had a turkey dinner

Day 9 Ingleby Cross to Chopgate 14.4 miles, nice scenary along route. We

Day 11 glaiseday - Robinhoods bay 16 miles -We have completed the route today (16.14 miles)ended up doing another 16 miles on top because the signs were changed around! We went to Whitby instead of Robinhood's bay so we had to turn round to get to the B&B also added another 2hrs plus onto the journey.

Hi All

Just to let you know that I've completed my epic journey, a final total of
250 miles. A gruelling experience, cold windy and bitter cold.

Lost weight, looking forward to the home cooking to fill me out again.
Nothing beats home comforts!
