Tuesday began well after a delightful stay in Reeth. A timeless place which seems to still be in the 20th century if it were not for the habits of 21st century drivers. Our short, – only 10 miles today, walk brought to high ground above Richmond. In the distance tomorrow’s challenge the marathon to the Hambleton Hills and our last National Park the North York Moors.

Taken Sunday morning as we set out from Tan Hill Inn. What a difference 14 hours makes. Our stay at Tan Hill can only be described as an experience, its not many pubs & resturants you find sheep and ducks at your feet. The journey was mainly downhill today apart from a few scrambles to avoid the path of the Swale from its source.

One of the things that makes this an enjoyable walk is Sherpa Vans. Each day we leave our luggage behind us when we set off and Sherpa Vans come along and transport it to our next destination. We have about forty kilos of stuff between us they move – we could never make our schedule and carry that load.
Every other day when we have arrived at the hotel/b&b the cases have been there – today we actually saw Jeff deliver them.
