14th September - Grosmont to Robin Hoods Bay

Our final day walking replayed the terrain from the last 15 days.  We had a little bit of everything: 33% incline hills, tarmac, soggy moors, forests and about 2 hours too much mud.

Felt great to finally make it to the North Sea after 190 miles.  The weather 'just' held out for us however the mud did dirty our moods!  As did this female couple who kept passing us at high speed, only to slow down & look at their map when they had no one to follow.

We arrived 'Suitably Disheveled' to Robin Hoods Bay, had a show at our B&B at the top and finished the last mile in style, walking down to the sea in jeans & smelling fresh!

Picked up a celebration whiskey at The Bay H which Laura spilled after standing to hug Janice who was also there celebrating.

Picked up some amazing fish & chips, drank & ate merrily a bus stop by the sea.  Met the Aussies & Americans one last time for a few pints before getting their twitter tags and closing out the day.

Tony Abbott's last day as prime minister was today, replaced by Malcolm Turnbull 1 year before elections are due.
