We are halfway

Today we walked from Keld through to Reeth.
Good night in the tent. Note to self though. Don't have 2 pints before going to bed in a tent. Too much admin later.
We decided to take the low route today down through the lovely Swale valley. Walked down through lots of abandoned buildings.
The traditional way of farming here is to have 2 paddocks per mob of sheep. One has a barn in it and the paddock is shut up for hay all summer. This is stored in the barn. The sheep are in the next paddock for the summer. Then, into the barn for the winter. Very simple.
As the day was very foggy, we never got great views. Stopped at a lovely pub for lunch. Beef and Guinness pie seems to be the specialty.
Staying in an inn tonight, so nice change from the tent.Read more
