Tourist running 🏃‍♀️ in the Yorkshire Moors

Up early for a morning run before breakfast. We’re holidaying in North Yorkshire, just at the start of the Yorkshire Moors. The weather has been kinder than the forecast and Dabby-dot and I have a beautiful place to run her C25K. It’s rather hillier than she’s used to, but she’s coping brilliantly although she had a few stern words for the lovely Laura on the app as she reached the top of her final hill at the end of the last run section. I’m so proud of her. 😊

It is doing me good to rerun it alongside my daughter. As I give her advice and encouragement, I find I am thinking about my technique and how I tackle hills etc.

The photos are from our run. We saw deer, sheep, bulls, horses, beautiful views and a hilarious parade of chickens scuttling down the hill as we neared our holiday cottage.

Well done you and Dabby Dot. My son is still asleep after the football last night. Luckily we ran yesterday, he rightly realised today should be a rest day 😂😂😂

[Hidden in reply to Yesletsgo]

😉 sleepy sons are the order of the day today I think. My teenage son was still tucked up when we headed out. 😴

Looks like you may be somewhere near my home Delly-dot.. the Cinder Track (old railway line) from Scarborough to Whitby is a great place to run mid-week (lots of cyclists at weekends so not quite so good then)..😊

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10 in reply to PeggySusi]

I was thinking of the cinder track! Went on it near Whitby when I stayed at my friends holiday cottage there! Wasn't running then and want to run it now!!!

[Hidden in reply to PeggySusi]

We’re a few miles east of Thirsk. We lived in North Yorkshire years ago (pre children) so it’s lovely to share some of our favourite places with them and catch up with old friends while we are here. I’m not sure how close we are to The Cinder Track but think it’ll be further east from where we are. 😊

[PeggySusi in reply to Hidden]

Ah yes, you are on the opposite side of the moors.. the cinder track is more or less parallel to the Cleveland Way, so it’s possible to do some lovely loops going one way along the cliffs and returning along the track.. (mostly walking for me!) - maybe your next holiday.. 😊You have more than enough fabulous runs to explore around Thirsk.. such a big and beautiful county... enjoy! 😊

[Hidden in reply to PeggySusi]

The Cleveland Way runs parallel to the track that we ran this morning, but it’s a little bit further up the hill. We will try it later in the week 😊

[PeggySusi in reply to Hidden]

I reckon you must be not far off a hundred miles via the Cleveland Way from the coastal section of it nearest to me.. I don't know if it's all as challenging, but I'd love to find out.. a bit at a time.. maybe we will devote a whole walking holiday to it sometime.. I would be interested to read if you post about it later in the week.

Sounds absolutely idyllic, what a fantastic area to continue on your C25K journey with your daughter 😍 well done, hope the weather holds for the rest of your holiday! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🐮🐔🦌🐎🌻🥰

🌧 Bucketing down now, but hopefully it will be cracking the flags later in the week ☀️

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

Very well done! That sounds a lovely place to run and lovely you can do it together!

[Hidden in reply to Cowladyrunning]

I’d forgotten just how lovely North Yorkshire is. It’s been 20 years since we moved away…… ☺️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Not far from where we were last week, it’s good to read bout doing this with your daughter

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

We had the best of today’s weather this morning. It has been torrential rain this afternoon. We battened down the hatches and played card and board games indoors!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Sounds perfect

[dijep Graduate10]

That sounds wonderful. I was on the North Yorkshire Moors last week but no running then for me.🤞 the weather stays good for you.

[Hidden in reply to dijep]

It’s been torrential rains since this morning!! There’s a flood alert in the village but thankfully we are up the hill!!

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Oh dear ☹️

My other half (Mr grumpy 😁) is from Helmsley, it's a beautiful part of the world. Enjoy your holiday, you lucky things!

[Hidden in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Oh we were in Helmsley this morning and had our picnic in the rain! It’s so beautiful there and we would have liked to have wandered for longer, but we had to give in and head back to the dry, for board games and cards at our holiday cottage. Helmsley is only a few miles away so we’ll get back. We are loving revisiting old haunts and sharing them with our children, having moved away from here 20 years ago.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Hidden]

Ah, card games and soggy picnics, we are all rediscovering the joys of a British holiday😂

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Well done the dots! How lovely to be able to show your children some of your favourite places. We did that with my nephews when they were little and they’re now doing the same with their own children! You’ve started a trend! Enjoy your holiday.

[Hidden]

Looks like a nice scenery to run in! And while having fun too, the best!

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

Lovely run for you both enjoy your holibobs and your new run routes. 🌈🌈

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

So glad that you are enjoying your running with Dabby, you have taken lovely photos, well done 😀 🏃🏾
