A Guest Coast To Coaster

I love hash browns. Whoever first made them needs some kind of honour - posthumous if necessary. As you are by now aware, I had a hash brown for breakfast. Not just a hash brown of course. To prevent it feeling lonely on the plate I had a fried egg and tomato as well! Martin arrived at about 9.30am and we were on the road just before 10am. Today was probably the easiest walk so far,just under 10 miles along more flat fields and road. It was great to catch up with Martin and we had a good old natter about football and Stoke which Leonie,bless her,has been unable to engage in! Even allowing for a few rests,we chalked off the miles really quickly and we were sat in the Blue Bell Inn at 1.50pm with Martin tucking into a portion of lasagne and chips. Martin then left us to get a taxi back to his car in Danby Wiske and Leonie and I carried on for a further mile to our accommodation for the nightm We are staying in the heart of Arncliffe Wood which is a fantastic setting. I have just dined on the finest salmon and had a great few hours at the table chatting with Rich and Nicola and Evita and Rob, two couples who we have got to know and who we have stayed with the last few nights. Tomorrow we enter our third national park, the North Yorkshire Moors, as we venture to Great Broughton.
