Saturday 23rd September 2017
A great walking weekend with the walking group. Lots of laughs. Lots of food. Lots of wine! Oh, we did a bit of walking too...
Saturday started off with a cuppa in the Old Forge at Sewerby - a lovely little tea shoppe hidden down the main street. Then it was time for a leisurely stroll on the inland path towards Danes Dyke and a return route along the popular cliff top route to Bridlington, before returning to Sewerby on the broad grassy part of the cliff top near where the land train runs.

After a quick cuppa and scone at The Station Cafe at Burniston, we headed to our accommodation for the evening at
Cober Hill. A quirky, characterful building set in beautiful terraced landscaped grounds at Cloughton (north of Scarborough). After settling into our rooms for the night we finished off the evening with a delicious 3 course meal and a sociable glass of wine or 2 and a good natter before heading off to bed.

On Sunday, after a hearty buffet-style breakfast, we packed up, checked out and headed along the quiet lane towards the old railway line known as the Cinder Track, which we followed for a mile or two to Burniston. Turning onto Field Lane we headed to the coast to join the Cleveland Way and return along the cliff top to Cloughton.

A brilliant walking weekend with a bunch of lovely WI ladies 👍
