Grosmont to Newtondale Halt - 29th May

Ben is keen on railways and wanted to walk near the North Yorkshire moors railway and catch a train back to the start.  We followed part of the Newtondale Trail, which goes from Pickering to Grosmont (or the other way round).  We chose to start from Grosmont because it is closer to get to.
