Amazing trail

[Tasha99]

Today I went on an 11.5 mile trail with my friends from club from Grosmont to Goathland (near Whitby) via 2 amazing waterfalls: Thomason Foss and the Mallyan Spout. I think it was one of my favourite trails ever! Absolutely stunning even though we were saturated through from 6 miles 🌧🤣

I managed to send the route to my garmin and had a go at using the map on my watch for directions. It was a fairly successful experiment and I’ll definitely use this feature again. Feeling lucky to live so close to such fabulous scenery. Just saying 😍

Sounds fabulous - the photos show the rain didn't put the dampener on anyone's spirits either! I love having a route map on my watch when I don't know where I am. My Garmin (Forerunner 235) doesn't support maps as such, but I use an app to display a very simple outline route and it definitely helps. One day maybe I'll treat mysef to a Garmin with full mapping support - I'll add it to my (already long) wishlist 😂

It was really helpful actually! I wish I’d discovered it earlier 🤣

Beautiful area Tasha. Is it ever going to stop being wet up here? You are finding some fantastic runs 👏👏👏👏

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

You’ve got to do this one! It’s a 7 mile loop but we made it longer. Really stunning! We were absolutely saturated. Reminiscent of Redcar last year 🤣

I got wet today and absolute soaked on Thursday; weird weather. Bit of a nip in the air too.

Was this all run or are there some steep climbs?

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

There are some steep steps coming out of the Mallyan Spout. Going to Thomasson Foss was more rock climbing tbh 🤣 It’s fab though! Here’s the link to the simple route the misses out waterfall one.

Thanks Tasha👍

Wow!! This looks epic. Beautiful scenery too! Look at you being a pro and sending it to your watch 👏👏👏👏👏

11.5 miles too would have been tough even with that terrain and scenery. Fabulous pictures. So glad you enjoyed it and could do this again. Great to see you back out there and enjoying it 😊😊😊

Oh fantastic Tasha - wonderful run & scenery, good for you. 👍🏻😄 I take off my hat to you trail runners. - We had a family walk from Baysdale Abbey last week (also extremely wet😂) - the NY Moors are extra wonderful when the heather is in bloom - not sure that I could have run it though- as Billy Connolly once said, “You don’t march through the heather, you fall through the heather!” 😂

🤣

I’ve enjoyed a few trails recently but back to work on Tuesday. Time from now on will be limited! 😭

[Elfe5 in reply to Tasha99]

Hope it all goes smoothly. Xx

That’s wonderful! Well done. I envy you as I love that area and once upon a time worked on the NYMR😊

THAT is a beautiful place! I've always wanted to visit Whitby because of the Bram Stoker connection, but I see now there is so much more
