As you guys know , Al (Bopdude) and I were trying out a new location that we had high hopes for turning into a permanent camp , sadly that was not to be the case as the site proved just to busy to find the solitude we were after.
We were allowed access to the woods surrounding the youth hostel at Boggle hole between Robin Hoods Bay and Ravenscar . The site is mixed woodland on a either side of a beck , the valley sides are steep and the site has access onto the beach and the Cleveland way . We had hopes for chilling , beach foraging and a few whiskeys .
We set up our hammocks in a quiet spot just before tea time on the Friday using a sleeping platform as our admin area. There was plenty of dead wood for a fire and we settled in for the evening ....
Saturday saw us having a lie in ( maybe a bit too much whiskey ) and a leisurely breakfast . We then ventured onto the beach for bit of exploration and foraging although we decided we need to develop our skills in that area before we were prepared to eat our catch , a walk back along the beach saw us in Robin Hoods Bay and a quick walk back along the cliff top took us back to boggle for a couple of pints and lunch .
Maybe it was the fresh air or perhaps the lunchtime drinking but the afternoon saw us both taking a well deserved nap .
Saturday night routine was as standard for our trips , a mega cook up and more beers and whisky before early to bed , it’s hard graft this wild camping
