10 miles today, nice weather, a bit of a hill and boggy to start but a good day walking. Somehow we got off the trail but a farmer set us straight, we were heading in the right direction but needed to take a left to get back on course.
The Shepherd’ Cottage was so good. Great food, great night’s sleep and a great host, Kate.
Breakfast – to start we had fresh fruit, juice, coffee and tea, brioche, yogurt and granolaMarilyn enjoyed her scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms Flowers in the courtyard Trail right outside the gateUp the hillA look back at the Shepherd’s Cottage The route aheadView of the Dent Viaduct A stretch of road walking Fences to crossBridges to crossComing into DentStopped at the Meadowside Cafe in Dent our stopping pointFor our reward, a latte, a tea and a slice of carrot cake Lodging at the Stone CloseDinner at the George snd Dragon1/2 pint of Guinness for meBottle of gin for Mare, actually just waterVeggie burger,fries and salad; No chicken and mushroom pie, fries and steamed vegetables
