• Day 8 - made it to Reeth

    July 4, 2017 in England ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Woke to rain on the Yurt... sounded awesome.
    Just wanted to stay in bed... because it was cosy, and the rain sounded awesome.
    But we had to go,

    so we left... in the rain

    Walked all day... in the rain

    & arrived at Reeth... in the rain.

    Boys wanted ice-cream!

    It was still a pretty cool walk, though - following the River Swale, through farms and quaint little towns.

    Stopped for a bite at Gunnerside where a discussion about boundaries, (and what was and was not permissible) ensued with the barman. After a brief chat, it became clear that there was, in fact, a white line which marked the boundary, so I was able to eat my lunch, and drink the Pub's coffee... in the rain.

    Stayed at Dales Bike Centre & had dinner at the Bridge Inn.
