I was on holiday in Cornwall when this walk took place so many thanks to Brian and Jean who have provided the photos and the narrative.
The day started off sunny
as we set off from Great Ayton towards Saltburn, which was quite a
long stretch at around 13 miles.
Our route took us past
Great Ayton station and up onto the moor, where there were some
beautiful views back towards Captain Cook’s monument and then we
headed towards Roseberry Topping (320m). Frank gave the group the
option to climb Roseberry Topping as this is an optional part of the
Cleveland Way and about 8 of the group decided to do it, whilst the
remainder had a longer lunch break. There were lovely views from the
top as it was a lovely clear day.
When we all got together
again we progressed to Highcliff Nab where the group photo was taken,
and then to Slapewath, by which time we were getting short of time
with more than 5 miles to go!
The route then took us to
Skelton where we encountered a beautiful red brick viaduct in Crowood
and we eventually arrived on the outskirts of Saltburn at around
6.20pm.
Thankfully Steve the driver very kindly came and picked us up but we were a little sad not to have seen the sea!

And here's some I prepared earlier, just in case you thought I wouldn't have done this section.
