Hello lovely people! Thank you so much for this post. However, the book is called “The Book of Bogs: Stories of a Yorkshire Peatlands” …. And the wonderful event you hosted in August raised money for “Give Peat a chance” which is a fantastic Yorkshire Wildlife Trust project!

Day 15: Grosmont to Robin Hoods Bay: the journey's end.

My final Substack post of our Coast to Coast. Finches, the pain of one journey's end, and the start of new journeys. Thanks for walking with me. I didn't know how big and beautiful this path could be.
