Blakey Ridge, Tuesday May 17

The Moors

After a wonderful night at Urra we were back on the moors today. After a short climb we walked along a disused railway for the day. Spotted more wild pheasants and red grouse.

Last night we were the only guests in the B&B at Urra. Our hosts were wonderful, giving us a superb three course home-cooked meal, sherry before dinner, a potted history of the area and fascinating conservation, great people.

Tonight we are in the Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge, fourth highest pub in England, a lone building high on the moors. It's booked out, mostly with walkers.
