A weekend on the moors

Stef and I spent the bank holiday weekend in the Bilsdale area of the North York Moors. We stayed at Easterside Farm which was a great base for sightseeing and walking and running. We also had some splendid food, including a spectacularly good plate of fish and chips at Scotts in Hemsley

The heather on the moors had to be seen to believed and was just one of the highlights of the 22 mile walk we did on Sunday. This was our longest walk or run for over a year but we plan on visiting the area again for Lakeland 100 training because the hard-pack tracks and paths are very similar to those used in the Lakes event
