Day 11 Hasty Bank to Osmotherley

  It had been decided that we would do this walk back to front as it was better to finish in Osmotherley where refreshments are available. 11 miles and at least 1800ft of climbing later we finished.. This was the hardest section we had done so far and felt like an 'A' walk not even a 'B+'. We must have been over six hills by the end although they did get progressively lower thankfully. My book describes it as 'a switchback of climbs and descents over high moorland' and it was a magnificent walk although the misty conditions meant that we didn't get the best views.
We arrived in the middle of a car rally which caused some confusion.

There was plenty of this




Lunch with a view
Wainstones
More ups and downs

He wasn't interested in us
This is what we should have been able to see

Hmm how much further?
Tea break, looking a bit tired

We did eventually arrive in Osmotherley and the 'A' party seemed to have had a much easier walk than us. Just time for everyone to have a quick drink before setting off for home.
