A long weekend with Chris Pilgrim, walking a section of the Cleveland Way, with the intention to wild camp where possible. We were dropped in Filey on a cloudy, grey morning with a poor forecast for later in the day. We made regular stops for brews and to enjoy the views and eventually the rain began to fall. We lost the path, walking backwards along the track as we were, we missed a diversion sign and ended up deep in a wood and then the path just ended at a huge landslip and we struggled to reach the path, visible on the other side. All this done in pouring rain. A long stop in a hotel bar in Scarborough saw us dry out, only for the rain to start again a few minutes before we stopped to camp. A cheeky path-side camp, pitching late saw an interesting end to a great day.
