Day 14 Chop Gate to Glaisdale (21 miles)

After a nasty breakfast we left to tackle the moors once again. The weather was looking promising.

After a shortish but fairly steep ascent  we reached the top of Urra moor and joined the coast to coast path at Round hill.

We past lots of shooting butts on the way where Gail and Jacqui tried their hand at grouse shooting They Missed!

On the top of the moor the road was very flat and very long. Jacqui and Gail were looking for the handsome and broody Heathcliffe however they only found Gary and Neil giving the windy moors a new meaning...

We reached Bloworth crossing  and picked up the old railway line. After 9 miles we reached the Lion Inn where we stopped for lunch A welcome sight.

After an hour we carried on. A  long stretch of road took us to the side of the Danby High Moor and then on to Fryup and Great Fryup dale The views and the heather were stunning. The heather smelt of honey.

From here it was mostly down hill. Gail was struggling with her blisters and put on a very brave face.
