Day 32 LEJOG

18 miles. 592.4.
Dufton to Alston
A very wet day. We were due one😟. And we were going over the tops to the west of Cross Fell to a height of 660m - under mist all day. Firstly we went through several small fields on non existent paths, past cows, some more boisterous than others, a farm with a dead cow and sheep😟. We passed Mark Anthony’s hanging walls- a few grass terraces. Then onto the Maiden Way - a Roman Road - still with obvious foundations and very straight. Up into the mist and continued down although more boggy. Unfortunately through a ford - even wetter feet. Onto the roads for a fast decent into Alston Railway station for a cup of tea and to watch the toy train departing.Leia mais
