Day 11:Clay Bank Top to Glaisdale, 20 miles (32km)

Day 11 started at 7:30AM prompt, with an early departure from Clay Bank Top (Chop Gate, actually, we still needed to walk another mile or so to get to Clay Bank Top). The weather was again kind, bright and cool, following a good deal of rain overnight.

The walk itself was very long and tedious. Not a great deal to look at, and the quality of many of the paths were very poor indeed. A long morning session was punctuated by a short break at the Lion Inn at Blakely Ridge, followed by yet another long tedious afternoon session.

We finally arrived at our destinations in Glaisdale at around 3:15PM. (Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are staying at different B&Bs tonight - but what a result! Both B&Bs offer en-suite bathrooms with BATHS. What a luxury).

It's the last day of the walk tomorrow. Another 19 miles from Glaisdale to Robin Hoods Bay.
