YC and Rev T met Moira Sawyer and Elaine Kirk (pictured above) in The Grand Hotel tonight. Moira and Elaine are distant relatives on the Duff side. For those keen on their family history, YC's great-grandparents were John George Duff & Mary Ann Elizabeth Pye (who used to live in Newby House). Moira and Elaine are MAE Pye's great nieces.
Another member of the Pye family was Ben Pye. He was a sailor and is reputed to have missed his boat in Blackpool. Rather than waiting for the next one, he simply walked all the way home to North Shields. Perhaps that's where YC gets his walking-yearn from.
