Saturday 17th. October 2009 Joy has gone over to Keswick for a short break and I have decided to walk another of Mark Reid 's "Inn Way" series of long distance walks, this one is more or less on my doorstep - the North York Moors. The official start of the route is Helmsley, but as that is rather difficult to reach by public transport compared with an approach from Whitby in the north I have decided to start from "The Village the Reformation Forgot" Egton Birdge, also home to the famous annual Goosberry Growing Championships.
The walk is given as 89 miles but I added quite a few extra due to errors and route finding confusions, much worse on this walk than is my normal error rate, but still if an 89 mile walk is a good thing then an 101 mile walk must be better!
The billy goat in the picture was encountered shortly after the start of the walk, the view is back over the Esk Valley, the sun is shining and all is well with the world.
