We get going at 8.30am and Sam is greeted by one of the local Ladies who has heard he is doing the walk, she wanted to shake his hand and give him some biscuits for the day which was very nice of her.
It is another lovely day and our first challenge is to climb through Arncliffe Woods to Beacon Hill.
After the recent days of easy walking this section certainly gets the heart pumping but the reward is some fantastic views as you reach the first peak.
From the top of Coalmire the walk to reach the top of Live Moor is along a pathway through the heather and up to 1033 feet.
The next target is Carlton Moor at 1338 feet where we meet up with a chap about to leap from the top! He hopes to find some thermals and soar like a bird for the rest of the day
By the time we had reached the bottom of the hill at Carlton Bank he had made the leap and was gliding high above us.
The climb up Cringle End was steep and hot, the sun was now at its hottest and we were all glad to reach the top and have a bite to eat at the top and enjoy the views.
This was one of those days when there's always another climb round the corner and off we set for Cold Moor (1317 feet) and The Wainstones before heading down into Great Broughton to say our goodbyes to the Aussies who are staying there.
Tomorrow they have a much longer day than us (20 miles) so will set off very early and finish in Robin Hoods bay on Saturday where we finish on Sunday.
Safe travels to our new friends who we think have been a great help and support to us over the past 12 days since we first met them.
Now to get to our accommodation which is about three miles away! Maltkin House is a great place to stay, the food was fantastic and the owners wonderful people. Tomorrow we have another gentle 9 mile day as we head to the Lion at Blakey.
