13th September - Blakey Ridge to Grosmont

Feels wierd that we only have one more day of walking left :S  We saw the North Sea today so reality really hit home.

Today we walked to Grosmont (silent S!) about 13 miles (6 hours) walking with breaks.  My body felt pretty exhausted, I guess it required a lot of energy to keep warm during yesterdays walk and had not quite repaired itself ye.  Saw lots of Pheasants & Grouse.  Tired body made it a long hard walk despite the mostly flat terrain.

Made it to Grosmost House, a huge impressive building that was built in the 1860's.  Was a shame then to find such a shitty bathroom in our room.  No fan, felt like I was showering in a cupboard.  Water took 3 minutes to warm up & then just went scolding hot with no way to turn down the heat without turning the shower off!

Can't forget about julie the lord of the sheep when a paddock full of sheep came running over to us.

Watched some T.V.  now off to the pub for dinner.
