Cleveland Way

I walked the Cleveland Way in August of 2018, after some uncertainty as to whether I would make it for my planned U.K. walking holiday that year.  I did make it, after some cancellations, modifications and rebooking.

The Cleveland Way was the middle section of the holiday however, I had formed some blisters during the Dales Way walk I had just completed, and those blisters troubled me into the beginnings of the Cleveland Way.  Still, despite that, I enjoyed most of this walk, and some of the scenery was incredible.
