We had an excellent day today - the Rambling Club coach was pretty fall (despite the dismal weather forcast).
There were six of us on the A-walk: PB, RB, CH, WM, JP and MT. We set off from Ingleby Greenhow at about 10.20 am and headed in a south-westly direction to Bank Foot where we climbed up onto the high ground above Battersby Plantation. Here we joined the Cleveland Way (CW). We followed this in a southerly direction along Igleby Moor to Incline Top where we turned onto a westerly bearing. We followed this to Round Hill and subsequently descended to Clay Bank.
We had lunch in the entrance to Hasty Bank Farm - using the gorse bushes to take shelter from the cold wind, hail-stones and snow. After our short lunch stop we headed west (passing the Wain Stones on our right) to meet (fleetingly) the CW again at NZ 554 085. From here we took a south-westerly bearing and climbed up onto Cold Moor in order to reach Beak Hills. Continuing on this bearing we passed through High Clay House, climbed up onto Wath and then descended to the woods at NZ 531 008. After negotiating the woods we had a good hard climb up onto Bilsdale West Moor in order to reach Brian's Pond and Barker's Craggs.
After a short 'drinks' stop, we headed south to Green Howe and Cock Howe. Now we turned east, dropping down to Chop Gate where we met our coach in the car park of the Village Hall. Some of us partook of tea and crumpets in the village hall before we set off for home.
