em and i are definately getting into our stride now, we had a speedy walk over great shunner fell in the cloud and pouring rain this morning. spirits weren't dampened, despite every part of us being soaked through.
we stopped for a few hours to dry out in thwaite, hoping for cloud to clear enough for us to see the foretold paradise of swaledale.
we were in luck and after a quick chat with four other pennine walkers, two that left friday, two that left saturday(!), we set off for tan hill in great conditions for an afternoon walk:
pictures just don't do it justice.
a short time later and the highest pub in the country, tan hill inn, popped into view:
(it's there in the distance, and felt much pleasanter than it looked in the photo.)
we'll hopefully be chatting with the other wayfarers when they get in so i'm posting early so as not to be rude.
i'll leave you with my favourite picture of today, the moody light over hardraw as we set off. I really love clouds!
