just joined this forum, first post.
i did the walk when i was 12yrs old along with my dad and older brother, that was back in 1981/82.
really enjoyed ourselfs, did it inabout 26 hours i think.
we were in the middle of the moors in the dead of night and over to one side there were people doing some sort of witchcraft and dancing around a large fire, very spooky when you are 12 yrs.
when we got to the end i felt like i had walked for ever.
we got the ok from a farmer and pitched on his field for the nght in i think great broughton.
next morning we made our way to whitby and went on t a site on the top of the cliffe, i thinkit was something farm?
the guy who owned it was an amature radio and we chated to him over my brothers hand held cb, untill the batterys went dead.
we did the walk a few more times and each time added other bits in as well, each time we did it a friend would come along, i remember once there was about 7 of us, and the coach driver let us get of his coach on i think the a19, we are from london but dad was from up the north.
is the camp site as osmotherly still at the bottom of a very very steep hill?
well im all grown up now, and was just thinking about the good times we had on the walks as a child (my father has long passed away) and i now have a child of my own, well 19yr old. i am going to ask him along with my newphew if there would like to do the walk.
well done on your walk and i hope to be part of it again.
ps do people still put a stone at certain points and build them into a maker?
