Day 15… Sunday 13th May

Clay Bank to Danby Dale 10.5 miles

After a very enjoyable evening meal and overnight stay followed by a healthy breakfast and having our clothes washed (with special thanks to Tony, wife Lynne and son Stephen), Tony dropped us off at Clay Bank Top where we were able to resume our walk.

We particularly enjoyed the views of Roseberry Topping which is a prominent mountain projectory and is famous as a local landmark.
We followed the old ironside railway believing this to be an easy stretch, when in fact we were climbing as high as 1250ft above sea level. We passed Carr Ridge and Urra Moor before crossing the Cleveland Way, (another well known walk in these parts) and arriving at the (famous) Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge on our onward journey to tonights stay at Danby Dale.
Today we experiencd very heavy rain and got thoroughly soaked but our spirits remain high as we approach the final leg of our journey.
