Day 10 - Tuesday 12th November

Ingleby Barwick to Scarborough
Miles today: 59
Miles so far: 314

Beautiful weather today; blue skies and sunshine all day - although it did go very cold about half past four when I was hoping to have finished but was still an hour away from my destination. 

I left Ingleby Barwick at 8:15 and did some gentle hills in the morning, arriving in Whitby just after lunch. From Whitby to Scarborough was about 20 miles along a disused railway line. These are usually quite flat but not today. Over a few miles, the elevation increased by almost 500 feet then descended again. 

The coastal views were fantastic


and I wondered if the Victorians used to see the same views from their steam train. (A question for Peter Bamber!)

Another visit planned for tomorrow then 50+ miles to Beverley on Thursday.
