Danby Wiske

After setting off from Richmond at 14:00hrs today I have managed to get to Danby Wiske, un-harmed!! despite being chased by a gang of young bulls & losing my compass in the bargain!!! its strange to be back in the tent after the comfort of the frenchgate hotel in Richmond!! Thanks to David and his team for a lovely evening!!

So... Off to bed for me, got some more miles to clock up tomorrow!!!

Over half way!!

Made it over nine standards rigg on thursday afternoon! Navigating bogs can be a lot of fun!!! Worth it once I got into Keld (the half way mark). Alex met me in keld and walked through disused lead mines into Reeth, a good days walk... Yesterday I made it to Richmond (after passing an escaped bull)... Mel agreed to come and meet me, so I decided after a week of sleeping under canvas, some comfort could be allowed! so I booked into a hotel! however, it will be back under the stars for me tonight! 7 days left to Robinhoods bay! So far this is a journey I would say is worth the effort! Ive met some amazing people along the way and seen some sights that a photograph can't do justice to! I'll update again one I have a phone signal.
