    Day 12

    Kirkby Stephen to Keld

    September 19, 2024 in England ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    Great walk today. Walked up to a set of large cairns called the 9 standards. nobody sure of their origin. Either religious but probably to mark a boundary.
    Weather was perfect. Met lots of people today, which was nice.
    Camped in a farmers field tonight and having a beer at the pub. Unfortunately booked up for dinner so bacon buttie from the camp cafe. There are not many photos today, sorry. Too much talking.    Read more

    Day 11

    Orton to Kirkby Stephen

    September 18, 2024 in England ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Another shorter day. About 18km. Cold start after a good night in the tent. Huge moon, so very light.
    Nice walk through farmland all day. Some thoughts on the farming styles but will leave for another post.
    Stayed in a lovely bed and breakfast, which was a nice change from the tent. And a great meal from Indian restaurant.    Read more

    Day 10

    Shap to Orton

    September 17, 2024 in England ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    We had originally planned on doing a 32km walk today. However we were quite tired so decided to cut the walk in half.
    Cold pasty from supermarket and headed out. Met some great Aussies so lots of banter.
    Got to Orton about 2pm. Had planned on camping at pub in the garden but a busy road so walked on to New House Farm. Run by a 92 year old lady living on her own. I ended up sitting down with her for an hour talking about her life. It was a privilege to meet her.
    Slept in tent in a paddock. Good showers and had it to ourselves.
    Had a "The castle" moment. The old lady gave us some cake. I thought it might have a special name so asked her what sort of cake. "Sponge" she said.    Read more

    Ingleton waterfalls walk.

    July 1, 2024 in England ⋅ 🌫 14 °C

    Started the day driving to Ingleton and doing the 4.5 mile waterfall walk. Many many steps!
    Also looked at the viaduct and the Ribblehead Viaduct. Then off to the Dent Heritage centre.
    It’s been wet and cold and windy.Read more

    Day 16

    Swale River in the Dales

    June 15, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    A beautiful day following the Swale River for half of the day. The coffee coloured water stained from the dark peat bog in the mountains. Campers and ramblers out walking their dogs in the countryside. Lots of Public Bridleways pop up everywhere with the Right of Way for people to cross paddocks with little squeeze gates in fences to pass through. Lots of free roaming allowed. Our first village stop for scones, jam and cream with coffee today. Yummo! Light Rain began as we began our ascend up on the hills then setting in as we made it into Reeth to the Black Bull Inn. Wash and drinks.🍻Read more

    Day 15

    Nine Standards to Keld

    June 14, 2024 in England ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    A beautiful meal last night in the little village of Natesby staying at The Black Bull. Light showers to start the day hiking along narrow public walkways with high rock fences to then follow a fast flowing brook through the fields. We then began the climb up to the Nine Standards, 9 large rock cairns thought to be a border of over 500 years, in some cold headwind over wet boggy peat. Reaching the top we fuelled up with our standard lunch packs to retrace our steps back down the valley. Some difficulty navigating and negotiating the wet bogs and tuffs we eventually came to the road to Keld. All down the valley from the mountain tops were stone houses or barns dotted on the hillsides and along the peat coloured beck (stream), each with their own fold fenced with the large rock fences with not a tree in sight. Black and white lambs and long shaggy sheep bleating along the way. The Grose moors rolling on and on, mountains after mountain.
    A big day hiking to reach our half way mark of about 150km, 9 days to go with one rest day.    Read more

    Day 14

    Yorkshire Dales

    June 13, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    A fabulous and picturesque day hiking up and down the beautiful valleys and fells between Orton and Kirby Stephen. Pastures full of beautiful thick wildflowers very peaceful and serene, large farms with housing barns and large piles of used fodder with their own fertilising system of manure spread by tractor. Deep valleys with Roman bridges, rock wall lanes, hawthorn trees and plantations. Everyone going well, trooping along with little problem, only a few soft tumbles so far.Read more

    Tag 14: Langcliffe to Dent

    June 29, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Ich bin nun zwei Wochen komplett alleine unterwegs. Anfühlen tut es sich aber schon viel länger, wenn ich ehrlich bin. Wenn ich das mit den Tagen in Dänemark vergleiche oder generell mit den Touren mit Pauline muss ich sagen, dass es zu zweit deutlich mehr Spaß macht. Das soll nicht heißen, dass alleine fahren keinen Spaß macht, aber die Erfahrungen mit jemandem zu teilen ist nochmal deutlich schöner. Die Erfahrung das alleine zu machen ist aber auch viel wert finde ich.

    Heute habe ich die letzte Etappe des Yorkshire Dale Radweg gefahren und morgen wird es dann wohl Richtung Kendal am Rand des Lake District gehen. Wobei mir der Campingplatz hier sehr gefällt und die hier eine Waschmaschine für nur 2 Pfund haben. Wenn für die nächsten Tage nicht Regen angesagt wäre...
    Heute war durchgängig Regen und erneut steile Anstiege und Abfahrten, dass ich nach den 40 km die Schnauze gestrichen voll hatte. Da mir die Unterkünfte hier alles zu teuer sind entscheide ich mich doch für den Campingplatz und bin erleichtert, dass die hier Steckdosen haben, weil ich die letzten Tage nicht wirklich mit Solar aufladen konnte und die andern Campingplätze keine Steckdosen hatten.
    Zum weiteren Glück kostet der Campingplatz nur 11 Pfund und ein kleines Café ist direkt dran, in dem ich mir ein leckeres Essen, Kuchen und Tee gönne. Morgen früh gibt's dann sogar ein englisches Frühstück für mich. Lovely!
    Jetzt Ruhe ich mich noch ein bisschen aus und höre zu wie der Regen mir aufs Zelt prasselt und nicht mehr auf meinen Helm.

    Ich bin heute am White Scar Cave und Ingleton Water Falls Trail vorbeigefahren, aber mir hätte beides zu lange gedauert. White Scar Cave Führung 80 min plus 20 min warten und der Trail war laut denen 2,5 bis 4 Stunden. Ich war einfach komplett nass und wollte nur noch in Dent ankommen. Schade eigentlich, aber bereuen tue ichs nicht. Habe dann am Ende noch einen kleinen Wasserfall auf dem normalen Weg gesehen, bei dem Leute gebadet haben. Und das bei 14°C...

    Zum Thema Regen fällt mir noch ein, dass mich gestern Abend noch jemand auf dem Campingplatz in Langcliffe angesprochen hat. Der meinte zu mir, dass es letztes Jahr fast jeden Tag geregnet hat. Super 😂 und hier sind schon die ersten Midges (kleine Beißfliegen, die sehr typisch für Schottland sind).    Read more

    Day 36

    Day 35 Brough, Appleby and Nateby

    June 27, 2024 in England ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    A cold start to the day and rain overnight. After breakfast we headed out in search of our morning coffee to Brough, about 10mins away...oops, nothing open or happening there so a quick google and off to Appleby...fingers crossed and we were in luck. With puffer jackets back on and the wind blowing we decided to sit inside for our coffee. The trainline we are staying on goes through Appleby so we wandered around the town and up to the railway. This one was busier than ours, the ticket office was open as was the cafe and shop. Same bridge over the tracks but no viaduct!!
    With the rain coming and going we decided walking to Pogdill viaduct wouldn't be sensible so headed to Nateby, 5mins from home for lunch at the Black Bull that we kept hearing and reading about! It is a small town with a mechanic and one pump, many houses and a pub. Yummy lunch and beer. The guiness pie and mash was presented so well and apparently tasted even better!! Behind the pub was the beer garden and beyond the most amazing views of the dales...and a howling gale. Didn't stop me from taking more photos!
    Home to rest, pack and watch the rain! Then the sun came out for our gin and tonics on the station for the last time. More photos and then a rainbow appeared!    Read more

    Joli

    June 25, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    La vérité m’oblige à dire que j’ai masqué des détritus laissés par des gros dégueulasses. 🤬 Pardon pour la grossièreté mais décidément, quand l’homme laisse son empreinte, c’est très rarement pour embellir.Read more
