C2C Day 10 - July 23 - Richmond to Ingleby Cross - 23 miles

At 8:30, we said good-bye to our great hosts, Gary & Lindsay, at Rosedale House. We happened to be at the same Indian Restaurant last night and they sent over drinks and dessert and then came over with the staff to sing Happy Anniversary.

In hindsight, 23 miles on the day of our anniversary, was probably not the best idea. We couldn't really recall why we had decided on this routing. Must have been due to the fact that this stretch was almost entirely agricultural and flat. It was very hot, over 80 degrees F, and thankfully we didn't have direct sun all day. By the time that we arrived at Park House B&B, at 6:15 PM, the Champagne on ice was a welcome surprise. We could barely make it for dinner to Di's specialty of Steak and Ale Pie - which was great. After watching the sun set, we were so tired that instead of trying to re-create our wedding night, we settled for foot massages! (Yeah right!).

We are in the North York Moors National Park and are looking forward to what tomorrow brings.

Note to Jonathan and Anne - Thanks so much for the card received on arrival at Park House. Looking forward to seeing you in London.
