Day 13… Friday 11th May

Danby Wiske to Ingleby Arncliffe (9miles - total so far 156)

Our walk today was across a much easier stretch than we have experienced recently. However, we also experienced the first sustained period of rain and were very grateful for the trousers donated by ‘Regatta’ which proved to be an absolute boon as we tramped through the wet grass.

Unfortunately Veronica slipped on the wet ground and gashed her shin, but after treatment and putting on a dressing, she will continue the walk in the morning. We crossed the East Coast main railway line at Danby Wiske and then saw low flying helicopters involved in some sort of manoeuvres. We crossed the A167 at Oak Tree Hill, near to the site of the Battle of Standard 1138, and walked through pasture like terrain crossing becks and the river Wiske as we continued. The signs for the walk in this area are excellent and you can’t really go wrong.

Later we crossed the A19 and arrived in Ingleby Arncliffe for our overnight stay.
