To Glaisdale

We started out today from the Buck Inn in Chap Gate. The walk started as a slog uphill but then it was pretty level after that. The weather was awful. It was driving rain with probably 60 km winds gusting to 80 km or so. Visibility was also bad as the mist was at our elevation. After a long trudge of 4 hours we arrived at the Lion Inn which is located on a road that cuts through the moor. It was great to stop and have lunch and take the wet stuff off. After lunch we set out again. The mist was still bad but the rain stopped and then it began to brighten. We had sun and warmth for the last few hours into Glaisdale where we are staying at the Red House Farm. Tonight we went for dinner with Andre and Ruth who are also traveling the Coast to Coast and staying at the Red House Farm. We got a cab to the local pub and back as it is a 20 min walk one way. It was a long 30 km today and our feet are sore from all the wet weather. Tomorrow is 31 km and is supposed to be wet again. It’s our last day on he Coast to Coast tomorrow.Read more
