Day 10 - Reeth to Richmond

Last night we finished 4.5 miles outside of Reeth, so we had to do that this morning.  However, we were in fine "fettle", and completed the paltry mileage in just over one and a half hours.  We then got back on the Coast to Coast trail and headed off for Richmond.

We stayed back at the Keld Lodge last night, and were waved off this morning by Nick, the most amazing landlord!

We are fascinated by the fact that the dales are divided up into small fields with brick walls, and most of the fields have a brick building / cottage in a corner.  They all appear to be derelict or abandoned, but we can't work out the story behind them.  We have seen almost hundreds of them over the last couple of days.

 The North Yorkshire Dales.  Quite stunning!!

 Stopped for a breath of air and looking back at how far we have walked today.

 Toby, as per usual, always get to the top of the hill before us and then sits there like Lord Muck with attitude!!!!  Occasionally we get barked at  - as if he's saying "are you going to be much longer"??

 After detouring around flooded fields, chased by over excited heffers, and following never ending paths, this was the highlight of the day when we finally reached Richmond.

ONLY 76 MORE MILES TO GO UNTIL WE SEE THE SEA!!!!!!!!!!
