This was the longest section of the Wolds Way.  The weather was beautiful until we approached Settrington Beacon.  Dark clouds hung ominously in the sky and then the heavens opened.  We were disappointed at Settrington Beacon.  Although we were at he highest point of the Wolds Way it was marked by an overgrown triangulation pillar.

We ate our lunch in Winteringham - the only village that we would pass through before arriving at Ganton.  

After the village of Winteringham the Wolds Way turns east wards towards the sea and follows the northern edge of the Wolds.  No one will forget the steep climb in Deepdale Plantation just outside Winteringham.  Further along we found several wild raspberry bushes.  The fruit was ripe and ready for eating.

The village of Ganton when it did eventually appear was a welcome sight.  Also the sun had reappeared to welcome us back to our cars.  All agreed that this was the hardest section of the Wolds Way we had done.

We went to the Ganton Greyhound for a drink.  There was a very tempting menu.  The landlord was not bothered about us hobbling around on weary limbs wearing muddy clothes.  We had an excellent meal before returning home very late at night.
