Bolstered by a hearty breakfast this morning we left Market Weighton with a spring in our step. The weather was overcast and cool and perfect for a walk. It started with trails through crop fields.

Today our 10 mile walk (I miscounted!!) would take us through the Londesborough Estate, across and through Nunburnholme, past Kilnwick Percy and down into Millington Bottom.

So far this has been the best of the two days. Rolling valleys, huge fields of maize, spring barley, kale and wildflower meadows with sweet grass ready for the farmers to harvest.

Londesborough is beautiful. Unfortunately the church is locked so we did not get to wander in. And there are no deer in the deer park either.

There were some long inclined today that really tested our stamina, but we did find somewhere dead quiet for lunch in Nunburnholme:

The views and heights today were pretty spectacular.

At one point today we only had 43 more miles to go to Filey.

And then we neared Millington. Oh boy. You walk on the very top of the hill and drop 120 metres in 1/2 a mile to Millington Bottom. And tomorrow we have to go back up to the top..,,

In the picture above, this is from Millington village. The hedge on the top of the hill is our path we came from and very top left of the picture, way at the top is actually horses, not dots. We walked down that left hand hedge line to the bottom.

So tonight the Gait Inn beckons. I think we need beer.

In numbers:

10 miles today

Another 29,000 steps (I think even the Fitbit gave up counting)

Still just one blister

And one slight groin pain for Dad

And both of us with very tired red hot feet

Oh and a stack of cashew nuts consumed, two protein bars, one banana, one pear and about our own body weight in water.

And tomorrow it’s going to be hotter….and we go all the way back up to the top. Yeah!!
