<\/p>\nWe woke up at our own pace today, there was no rush. All we had to do was be gone by 11 a.m., this was not a problem because we woke by ourselves at around 9. It was the heat which woke us up, the heat of the sun through the canvas of the tent. Every other day so far we had been up before the sun could get that high. We took our time this morning, it was a novelty for us to be able to lounge about and eat slowly, not worrying about getting to the next overnight stop. Jonny went off to charge his phone in the camp sites laundry room while I ate my sweets, which I had decided was going to be my breakfast.<\/p>\n
After an\u00a0extremely long time Jonny returned to find me packed\u00a0\u00a0and lounging on the comfortable grass in the sun. WE then packed the tent and\u00a0leisurely\u00a0made our way to the bus stop. From the stop at Flyingthorpe we would then get the bus into Scarborough and from there, trains via London, back home.<\/p>\n
We got onto the bus, which was\u00a0absolutely packed, we deduced that because of all the hot weather we had been having, many of the people on board would have been\u00a0impromptu\u00a0holiday makers.\u00a0By some very good fortune I happened to have the exact fare for the bus left in my wallet. The bus left Flyingthorpe and winded its way up the steep hill which we had walked down the night before. When we got to the top there was another bus which had broken down. Our bus pulled over to see if anything could be done. There was no space on board to put their passengers on board with us, so we carried on, leaving all the passengers on the top of a moor, in the searing heat, with no food and no water. It was at this point that I thought how lucky we were that Jonny’s phone takes so long to charge. The bus then flew back to Scarborough, there were a few hairy moments where I had hoped the driver would slow down a bit (he didn’t), but I suppose he needed to get back to help those stranded.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Arriving in Scarborough we collected our tickets from the station. Our train wasn’t going to leave for about five hours, so after a quick browse round town, we searched out a pub to keep us entertained. \u00a0We sat at \u00a0table with plugs near it, so Jonny could charge his phone some more. We had lunch, watched the TV, found some apps to play on our phones, read the menu, anything to pass the time until we could reasonably think it time to walk over to the station and wait for the train.<\/p>\n
We got on the train, which left not soon after. Again, nothing to do, so back on the apps for entertainment. The highlight of the journey back was probably when the trolley came past with some food on it. I had a can of Strongbow and a Mars bar. A little while later the train went through our home town, Jonny pointed out his flat as the train careered past. We knew this was going to happen, but it still was a bit depressing to know we were about five minutes walk from home and yet the train wouldn’t stop until we were in London. \u00a0When the train got into London, we swapped to another train which got us home about two hours after we\u00a0originally\u00a0passed through our target destination. All that was left to do was to walk from the station back to our houses. We parted company after nearly a\u00a0fortnight outside the doctors and went our\u00a0separate\u00a0ways.<\/p>\n
That was our coast to coast journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
