Opportunism in Richmond
Eye catching it may be, but this pharmacy knows how to market to weary travellers, even if they can only offer blister plasters, support bandages and other essentials.

In the distance Richmond
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.

Celebration
So how do you mark reaching the halfway point. Simple, call in to the next tea room and partake of an English tradition. The tea room in question is in Gunnerside and called Ghyllfoot, simply heaven on earth.
Halfway
Coast to Coast walkers and the world in general may pass this point with a thought but for our expedition this is exactly halfway – 96 miles.
A better day.
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.
