I took a walk down on the beach yesterday evening and collected a few small pebbles and a couple of shells, rolled my trousers up and walked in the sea for a while which was cold but lovely. Finished off the patterns in the sand picture, not sure about it but wanted to give it a try!

Darren and I went to the boot fair this morning, strange weather, really windy, so nothing new there, but when the sun was out it was really hot and when it went in it was really cold! The coat was on and off, but it didn't start to rain until we were ready to leave. We got a few bargains, and I got quite a lot of beads to take along to the button class. On the way back I got Darren to drop me off at Cayton bay holiday park so that I could go and see if I could find the Cleveland Way to try making my way home along the cliff paths. A steep hill heading down to find the trail, I have been down this hill a couple of times before.

Then where I picked up the trail the start was up this hill!

Along the cliff top Scarborough and the castle looked a very long way off.....

Some great views along the way, too many for the blog, but it was like being on top of the world!

Had to climb over two pretty big styles, and then the path went along the old Filey Road for a bit then veered off again towards the cliff top along a rarely beaten track!

Back onto the path at the cliff edge, no fences and not that wide, not many people either!!

Had to go down a very steep hill, which I take very slowly as my knees don't like it! Then over a little stream before seeing where I had to go next!

The next two pictures are the steps back up to the trail, and what was at the top of them!

 Needed a bit of a breather when I got to the top again, luckily there was a convenient mound of earth! Took a picture of the view looking back.

It was a showery day so the coat was still coming on and off but at this point I was in the dry and the castle was obviously in the rain, so it made for a nice picture.

I was relieved when I got to the spot where Tina had dropped me off last week, it did mean going down one more very steep and stony path, but then I was on the sea wall beyond the spa end. I walked along and had a cup of tea in the Palm Court cafe, was able to sit out in the sun lounge.

I caught the open top bus along to this end rather that walk through town to get home. I did walk slowly and ached a bit when I got back, but glad I did it and will know the way next time!
