Standards Rigg. Kate is feeling much better - our landlady in Kirkby
Stephen gave her some Night Nurse which helped as she got a full
night's sleep.
We set off in sunshine which stayed with us all day. The views were
fantastic of the rolling countryside. It was a steep climb up to Nine
Standards Rigg but worthwhile as the dales were set out before us and
the Lakes were behind. We then tackled the peat bogs. We went in over
our laces a few times but no more than that. We had heard of people up
to their knees in them last week. We were so glad it wasn't raining
which would have made it unmanageable. We stopped for lunch with
wonderful views of Swaledale ahead of us. We then carried on through
the peat and fields dotted with lovely dry stone barns before reaching
Wainwath Falls which were quite wee but very nice. It was then an easy
mile into Keld, a tiny place but with a great hotel that we're staying
in.
11.6 miles. Fri 17 Sept.
