Day 12 - Danby Wiske to Osmotherly (11.5 miles)

And so the journey continued! We left Danby Wiske at 9.28am in cloudy conditions,  It had rained last night so we had been expecting to put the wet weather gear on this morning, thankfully it had cleared up and off we went.

As we left, a Canadian mother and daughter were on our path, the mother had eyes for Gary (Munroe) whereas the hot young daughter only had eyes for Morris!!!!

Once again it was a lot of tedius road walking with not very much to look at, however one amusing incident today was when Morris lost his footing on a muddy path and fell over on his backside!  No one laughed!!!!!

On our way Sean found a shire horse that he was very taken with but we managed to convince him to leave it behind.


We crossed the North Allerton to Middlesborough rail line at 11.06 and headed to the A19.  Crossing the road was a nightmare but we managed it without getting hit.



We stopped at Ingleby Cross for lunch at 12.51 and after an hour resting we set off up the hill through Arncliffe wood.  From here we looked across the valley all the way back to the Pennines, where we were two days ago!



We carried on to our destination, Vane House B&B in Ostmotherley. where we arrived at 3.00pm.

We are now sampling the delights of the Queen Catherine Hotel and yet another pint of Wainwright ale, a rating of 9/10!
