Osmotherley to Lion Inn, Blakey

Well I missed this one too as I was sitting on the beach in sunny Cornwall at the time. However thanks go to Stuart who has provided the photograph of Tripdale and a short description of the walk.

'The walk was very nice with some really good views. The weather was equally good, sunny with a fresh breeze on the tops. We did get lost halfway, some of the paths clearly marked on the map did not seem to exist. At one point Malcolm, Mick Coulson, Patrick and myself who had a map confered, and we decided to go across this valley of bracken and heather and ended up on the path we thought we were on when we set off. Anyway it all ended well. We arrived at the Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge at 5.15 just right, not too early and not too late. '

Others have mentioned there was a bit of a sting in the tail as it was a steep uphill climb at the end of the walk to reach the Lion Inn.
