As we were both feeling unwell, we booked a room in a hostel for a few nights. However, after one day of doing nothing, the nearby mountain started calling and we decided to pull ourselves together and go for it. We made the usual hike shorter (and steeper) by going through the valley instead of along the ridge and were not disappointed by the views!Read more

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.Read more

Day 6 Dufton to Garrigill
Today in England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
15.8miles A bit of a dreich drive over to Dufton with hills in mist but a dry start. Gradual ascent up Pennine way. Into mist. Did last bit on road and very steep. The golf balls of Dun fell appeared briefly Our route took us north and down from here past many lead hushings. Softer under foot than Pennine way route. Saw and heard many birds curlew,lapwing, Pippits skylark golden plover dipper wagtail sandpiper short eared owl , wren and grouse.
Left the Tees and up a little to source of Tyne. We chose the river route with many waterfalls and some beautiful Birds Eye primrose. Then the rain started. Very heavy. And continued for the next hour till Garrigill with some close lightening. Got to a closed bit of footpath- no bridge. Thankfully a short diversion via a big waterfall and viaduct. At Garrigill we are hugely grateful for the village hall bunkhouse with drying room, kitchen etc. Camping would have been less funRead more
Traveler You are going well ladies Glad you are out of the rain tonight xx
