Day 14 - I can see the sea!

Luckily we got a lift up the hill back to the Lion Inn from the Feversham Arms Barman (I say barman, He was the cook,cleaner and gardner too from what I can gather).

There was a little bit of road walking up on the Moor and a visit to Fat Betty (imaged below) - some sort of cross thing that people leave food offerings on - I don't know why but will look it up when we get home - We decided to leave a banana lest we attracted the wrath of the odd looking thing and carry on out merry way.

A little later we got our proper view of the North Sea which bolstered our spirits and resolve - it wasn't exactly close but not exactly far either - it looked about 25 miles away,which it was. We stopped for lunch at Glaisdale although the shop was bit bare I popped into the butchers next door for a home made pork pie which was really rather good. Sherpa Kerr fashioned Cheese Rolls out of,well, cheese and rolls.

A bit of a stint through some Riverside woods followed although undulations of upness and downess were not welcome. A luckily discovered shortcut over a river on stepping stones brought us to Broom House Hotel which is really rather swank although in our usual style we've trashed the room after about 15 seconds getting into it and it looks like a herd of cows has been living here for a week.

Our last day tomorrow is a bit of a mare at 17 1/2 miles although we've arranged to meet people in the Wainwright Bar so we have to do it before they shut!
