Today we walked the end of the Cleveland Way. This sounds a bit odd, seeing as we are planning to walk the whole of the Cleveland Way, but it actually starts in Helmsley and ends in Filey, so to join it up with the YWW we are doing the end bit first and then the Tabular Hills Way to the start. So today we followed the coastal path north to Scarborough, which would have been a short day but there was a last minute decision to make tomorrow's long day 2 miles shorter by adding 7 miles onto today's. Okay then...
The walk this morning started misty, got wet and windy and then very wet. Entering Scarborough, we stopped at the lovely Clock Cafe, which we visited on our last time in Scarborough, for lunch and then to the Royal Hotel to check in and drop our bags.
The official routes through Scarborough seem to be rather vague, we walked around the south bay, followed the Marine Drive to the north bay and up on to the cliff tops to Scalby before turning back along a cycle track. We sidetracked slightly to take in the North Riding Brew Pub and then headed back into town, calling in at the Curry Lounge for thai food.
