Distance 8.8 miles
Weather Bright & sunny but with a fresh cool wind
Company Solo
Today's walk is one that I usually do three or four times a year and it never loses its attraction for me. About the first thing that I noticed was that it is now definitely spring, some of the hedgerow bushes are starting to bud and there were quite a few spring flowers in bloom. I even saw a number of butterflies, the first this year. There were more people about too, mainly dog walkers on the Cinder Track, although there was a rambling club heading towards Whitby. The cliff path was the busiest though as I passed walkers going in the opposite direction every few minutes and there were groups both ahead of me and behind me going in the same direction as me.
It was a pleasant change to be out walking without being ankle deep in mud half the time, in fact it was quite dry underfoot.
