• Day 46 Hawes to Tan Hill Inn

    4. juli, England ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    Today was some wild weather walking. We set off walking over Great Shunner Fell and I couldn’t say what the views were like as I couldn’t see anything. It was just one foot in front of the other. We finally reached a wind shelter where we got a few minutes respite before setting off down off the fell and into Thwaite. Thwaite was a welcome respite. We went in the coffee shop, defrosted and refuelled. It was a really pretty village, we were not seeing it at its best in the poor weather but on a nice day it would be lovely. We took a high route between Thwaite and Keld (which in the weather might have been a mistake) and struggled and stumbled across the path. The falls as we came out of Keld were very nice though. Then in was another few miles of moor walking until we arrived at the Tan Hill Inn ( the highest in. In England). We are camping here tonight. We’ve pitched the tent more in hope than anticipation that by the time we return to it after a few beers it might still be there ( and not blown off across the moor). But it is lovely and warm and dry in the Tan Hill Inn, they have the fire going and a good selection off beer.
    PS Nice weather we are getting 😂 Whose idea was this 😂
