The day before was a travel day. Train from Langley Mill to York, and then a bus from York to Helmsley. Nice stay in the Black Swan inn, and then I set off around 8 AM after a big breakfast.

Easy walking and navigating for the first five miles to Cold Kirby where I was meeting Richard for a section of todays trek.

When I arrived at Cold Kirby Richard was had just arrived - perfect timing. As we got close to Sutton Bank we skipped the spur to the top of the bank where the Kilburn White Horse is. By all accounts you can't see the horse from the top of the bank. Instead we headed for the visitor centre for a cuppa and cake.
From there we followed the signs to 'The best view in England' which also put us back on the trail

| The best view ? - unfortunately very hazy in the distance |
A few miles later Richard had to leave me to continue his round walk back to his car at Cold Kirby.
It was only a few more easy miles to High Paradise farm.

The accomodation was brilliant. I cooked the food I had brought (sausage casserole boil in the bag), had a shower and lit the log burner. As usual on these treks I then had a fantastic sleep.
Perfect days walking, 14.5 miles. Total Ascent 1748 ft.
