We Did It!!!

I hate to ruin a surprise but....we made it to Robin Hood's Bay a day early!!!!  We arrived yesterday afternoon (June 28th) and even though I was grinning like a mad man and so proud of what we'd accomplished, Lauren was quietly annoyed at my child-like excitement.  Then it occurred to me that we hadn't eaten since breakfast, which was only toast, and that was before 9am.  By 3pm, I had an angry elf on my hands.  Once properly fed, she was happier and we wet our boots in the chilly waters of the North Sea.  We threw the rocks that we've carried since St Bee's and I felt more than a huge sense of accomplishment.

We walked from one coast of Britain to the other!!!  We walked about 200 miles in 16 days and we bought the Tshirts to announce it to the world.

Since we have an extra day on our hands, we plan to check out all of the shops here this am and then hop a bus to nearby Whitby (another seaside fishing town) where there's a Goth Festival all weekend.  Dracula events and such.  Right up our alley.

I'll continue to update each day's walk but I was just too excited about our arrival to keep it a secret!!
