Cleveland Way Day 8. Scarborough - Filey 11/04/25

 Last day today. I skipped breakfast as the only time the owner could offer me was 9:15 AM, I set off about 7:30.

This was a nice easy (by comparison) end to the trek. About 10 miles amd less ups and downs of the previous days. The weather continued to be excellent - sunny with a light breeze.

I had plenty of time to amble down to the seafront and enjoy the sear air and get some food before catching the train home just after 3PM.

Cleveland Way Day 7 Robin Hoods Bay - Scarbrough April 10th 2025

 I left the Grovesnor Hotel at about 8:30 after a good breakfast and headed downhill to Old Robin Hoods Bay

This turned out to be quite a tough day. Lots of ups and downs starting with Boggle Hole just a couple of miles in.

Leaving Robin Hoods Bay

First climb of the day

I stopped for a welcome cup of tea at the National Trust cafe in Ravenscar.

Scarborough North Beach

It was quite a climb from the sea front up to the edge of the town where I found my b&b near the castle. After a cup of tea I went for a wonder down to the South Beach which is like a mini blackpool, I picked up a pannini which is the first time this week I didn't eat fish and chips !. After another climb back to the hotel I settled in for an early night and managed to catch United vs Lyon (first leg) on my phone.

Total Ascent 2215 feet. Total Descent 1990feet.

Cleveland Way Day 6 Sandsend - Robin Hoods Bay April 9th 2025

 Great stay at the Beach Hotel in Sandsend. I had a room with a sea view, and a breakfast which was probably enough food for the rest of the week !!

Breakfast was at 8:30, so I left about 9:00. Today was a lot shorter than yesterday at around 10 miles, so no rush. The way out of Sandsend was very straightforward. Along the sea front and then up along the side of a golf course into Whitby sea front.

I'll stick to walking

Welcome to Whitby

Captain Cook

Whitby Abbey

After a while meandering through Whitby I was climbing the 199 steps to the Abbey on my way out of town. It was a lot cooler today, but with the distance and terrain (not too many ups and downs), this was probably one of the easiest days on the trail.

A few miles from Robin Hoods Bay the trail joins the Coast to Coast path once again.

The hotel was at the top of the town and similar to yesterday directly on the trail.
