Well Saturday morning came and it was down to me to go solo, chomping at the bit I was out of the house late morning.

A view looking towards my intended target, had never camped out down the beach so far so a bit of a mystery.

I had a rough idea where I was headed so followed my nose, getting closer.

The beach stretch done, time to turn to a mountain goat, fresh water, no farming close so it might be ok boiled up, I had carried in.

Still climbing, the sun was shining bright now, it was getting warmer.

Time for a break and a look back from where I had started, a breather and a drink of water and then a push to find home for the night.

Found the flattest spot I could, great views so set up camp, TW Sargasso tarp, xlite mat with a bivvy and sleeping bag.

Time for a late lunch, lamb leg steaks washed down with a Stella, look how blue the sky is, cracking day,

A few shots of 'my' homestead for the night, the sun by this time was so hot the shirt came off for a couple of hours sunbathing, great views, couldn't have asked for more.

Well it had been a slog but well worth it I thought, it was getting late so the supper went on, venison stew washed down with sloe gin, don't mind if I do.

The sun dropped behind the hill and the temp dropped, time for bed, a good day with good food.

The walk out in the morning wasn't without event due to me getting the tide times wrong, still, a nice ramble for a couple of hours until I could get down the beach.

I did a walk for teesside hospice from whitby to Saltburn on Sunday & came through there!
That climb down onto the beach is hairy! Wasn't expecting rock climbing lol

It was a bit iffy in places, the hazel pole I used for the tarp came in handy going up and coming down
