Now that I'm back, I can share some of my solo trip to Saltburn - a place that I love and holds good memories. I went for two nights, ate what I wanted, walked on the beach and watched the sunset. I breathed in sea air and breathed out some anxiety. (1/2)

Yesterday I walked over ten miles along the Cleveland Way (Strava cut out at some point and I did a lot of wandering so who knows how far I walked ). Spectacular views, an almost empty beach, some much needed brain space.

In fact, I enjoyed my solo trip so much that I've spontaneously booked another one for tomorrow. So I'm off to a shepherd's hut! Books, coffee and views
If you're considering a solo staycation this summer but you're nervous, I'd say just go for it. So, so glad I did.
