September 9, 2022,Scarborough woodland & clifftop hike (easy)

Initially woodland with a good marked country track. At midpoint, we looped onto the coastal cleaveland way path along the clifftop. Awesome views of the roaring sea and the spectacular crashing waves. Dry sunny day. Paths all dry with few small inclines but no difficult terrain.
