Today I am once again heading back out to complete another section of the Pennine Way - and here I will be doing the last of the sections I planned to do in the "wrong" direction (ie from North to South), as I make my way across Northumberland National Park.
On the previous day I had followed the Royal Military Canal from Folkestone to Hamstreet - and today we pick back up the journey, with the aim to reach either Rye or Hastings (depending on timings).
Today the plan is to explore more of the south coast of England - having already walked the North Downs Way between Dover and Folkstone . More specifically the plan is to head west from Folkestone, across a very empty stretch of coastline - but rather than follow the coast path itself, I have opted to take the higher route along the Royal Military Canal.
Today I am off to complete a walk that I have done before, but never got enough photos to do a writeup with - and this walk is the first stretch of the Cleveland Way from Helmsley round to Thirsk.
Today we are back on the Pennine Way , and having walked an excellent segment of this trail between Bowes and Hawes on the previous day, we are today continuing on to Horton-in-Ribblesdale.
