The ruins of Scarborough Castle from across the yellowing grass of the headland.

Panoramic view of Scarborough from the wall around the castle.  Since Scarborough Castle is on a headland you can see both South Bay and North Bay.
Scarborough from the Castle. It felt an interesting place. There were a lot more small quirky independent shops than you see in most high streets these days, and they were more inclined to be gaming shops, or second hand record stores, than aspirational middle-class boutiques*.


*I compare to Cheltenham, not that I object to fancy cheese shops and the like but it was refreshing to be reminded that there is a different way to be a small independent retailer.

The book claimed that this leg of the walk was 12 miles, but my Garmin said it was nearly 15 miles and unless we were really going a lot slower than normal then 15 miles seems more plausible than 12. So I'm going to put this down as 15 miles/24 km.

Scarborough North Bay which B. (who often came here as a child) informs me is the posh bit.

A picture of B walking across a cornfield.  Picturesque priory ruins are in the background.


We are in Guisborough which is about half way around the Cleveland Way (yet again we are doing a long distance walk). It has a ruined priory. At the moment the weather is lovely, but the forecast is not good. We start walking tomorrow and I have hopes it won't be too wet, but Wednesday does not look good.
