Cleveland Way

As with the "Wolds Way" a bit of small print again for this potential Cranswick Walking Club adventure -

Bonkers -, Booze *, Birds -

With the "Wolds Way" nearly complete two of the founder members of the CCW are now looking at next years walking. The most favourable route at the moment looks to be the "Cleveland Way" which starts at Helmsley and finishes at Filey. The initial ratings may put you off a little but these are worst case scenario - as was found out on the Pooley Bridge trip all the ratings doubled at least! The first leg of the trip would be attempted over a weekend or long weekend (taking perhaps the Friday off work also). This would get us from Helmsley to Osmotherley. The good news is there are at least a couple of good pubs in Helmsley I believe. We can either camp or there is a Youth Hostel in Helmsley - apparently curfews and stuff are a thing of the past. I am guessing that we would be looking to start doing this walk around March or April time.
Also note that the route does pass through Saltburn - perhaps we could combine the trip with the accommodation we might need for a wedding??
