Cleveland Way: Day 1

Helmsley to High Paradise Farm (14.5 miles)

Sunday 12th September 2021

At long last and after much delay, I had made it to the edge of the North York Moors and was ready to take on the Cleveland Way! 109 miles to cover, spread across seven-days of walking and with six-nights of camping. Carrying all of my camping gear in the rucksack behind me, along with enough food to see me through the adventure.

Month in Review: August 2021

As we approach the end of September, this might be an important time to write about August’s walks, before those lingering memories are forgotten!

Finding Exmoor’s ‘How’ Cairns

Searching for the Joaney How and Robin How cairns on Exmoor and not far from Dunkery Beacon.

Tuesday 24th August 2021

This would be my final walk of a three-day weekend down on Exmoor, ahead of my final night of camping at Halse Farm. I drove to Webber’s Post for the beginning of this one. I’d been up Dunkery Beacon many times but for now, I wanted to find a couple of named cairns from the OS Map.

Cleveland Way: My Daily Itinerary

Where I stayed and how far I walked for each of my 7 days following the 109 mile long Cleveland Way.

Last week, I completed a 109-mile journey along the Cleveland Way in Yorkshire. From the market town of Helmsley, across the North York Moors and then along the beautiful coastline of East Yorkshire, to the end point at Filey.

In this post, I’m going to share where I stayed and how far I walked each day. It may be useful for others (I was searching for this information beforehand) and in time, I’ll write about each day’s walking and experiences in detail.
