The day started in the pouring rain - again, but everyone was in high spirits as it was the last day. Carol and I dropped them off, and I didn't even get out of the bus to take a photo as it was soooooo wet. They walked through more bogs today which came over boots so did a slight change in route to walk on the road.

They walked through woods, clambering over tree trunks, but at least there were no large hills today, just a gradual climb.

Fortunately the rain stopped at about 11am. They were due to get to Robin Hood's Bay at about 2pm.
Carol and I drove to Robin Hood's Bay to meet them, parked in the car park at the top of the village and walked down to the sea. As we walked down and down and down we were thinking that they would need to walk back up this extremely steep hill to get back to the bus. (we couldn't drive the bus down the road as it was too narrow.) We couldn't see them at the bottom so walked back up (phew)and had a cup of tea and kept a look out for them.
After a short time we saw them coming down the road, and we all walked down to the dock and out to find the sea as the tide had gone out. They needed to throw their pebbles into the sea (that had been carried from St. Bees).
Once the pebbles had been thrown, it was into the Wainwright bar for a very welcome beer.
Then - back up the hill to the mini bus and back to the house for a glass of bubbly; fish and chips; fun and games.
and a great big thank you to Carol for helping with all the driving and logistics.
Discussions are underway for the next challenge - ahhhhhhh!!
