Day 5 Ravenber Askham to Dufton

14.9 miles. Forecast was rain so set off in waterproofs but soon came off and no rain all day. Went past Lowther castle - an impressive structure in process of restoration. Then a red sports car careered towards us- Huw and Allison 😊 They had been at Leighton Moss for a dawn chorus walk and came to find us. Short walk with them, then onwards and met them again near Morland, where we had a tea and toasted teacake with them. How lovely. Then off again through fields and tracks. Through a farm with a friendly farmer and over A66. Some boisterous cattle caused a little detour then into Dufton. 3 times we’ve been here previously via high cup nick on Pennine way and LEJOG. Simon and Lesley were at the tea shop to meet us😊. Home again for the wonderful platter and dinner.
