Yorkshire Coast

This is a watercolour picture I did a few years ago of the Yorkshire coast . It is from a photo I took whilst training for the Hardmoors 110 race. For us it was a long trek from Scotland  to Yorkshire but I grew to love the Cleveland Way (which the race route follows). The coast is very varied and often feels quite remote. There are some beautiful cliff top sections but the route also goes through some very picturesque towns and villages such as Robin Hood's Way and Staithes. On foot on the coastal path one also avoids the traffic and busy roads .

Since I did the Hardmoors 110 Jon Steele has added a whole series of races along the Cleveland Way . The first of the year is the Harmoors 30 on New Years Day.
