I’m a “wild swimmer” and my stalwart swim buddies Lynn and Ang, while unable to join us for the walk proper, went to Scarborough with me in February to walk the last 4-5 miles. Oh my days, what the weather threw at us! Wind, rain, and enough mud to last us for a lifetime! But we made it to the welcome oasis of the Old Scalby Mills pub! Hopefully the weather will be a bit better in May….
We enjoyed “Elkie’s” words of wisdom (came across some more on the railway walk!) and phoned the rescue about the gorgeous baby seal who was taking a break from the rough seas on Scarborough beach! S/he wasn’t at all distressed though: they reminded me of a kitten, arching their back in comfort and playing with their flippers!
