Sept 2+3 Hawes+ Redmire

Back to Hawes to complete the Herriot Way, and was looking forward to spending a second night a Wensleydale House.  VNP.  (Very nice place).

Poor lambie looks awfully skinny after haircut:


River:


Land:


Big gate and wee gate:


Uh-Oh:

To be confused or not to be confused with the original Chelm?


Birds on a wire:


Falls near Hawes.  Just a trickle because of the scarcity of rain.  One could walk up, but it was slippery and I was hungry, and I had walked many miles already, so after a short start up the path, I turned back and bought an ice cream.


Bench:


Loved this bridge:


A trio:

Gated bridge!  


View:


Sink hole!  There are a lot of these, most not so lush looking:


Can't remember all the fun and raucus things that happened on these couple of days because internet has been weak or not working, so could not jot down thoughts while they were fresh and exciting. But as you can see, the walking has been pleasant except for the day I did not take photos due to rain and cold and wind!  But there was drama at Redmire, other than my being wetter than I ever have been before.  Discovered that last day of walk was not properly way-pointed, so had to fight with the instruction book and its awful schematic maps to create a route.  This took hours.  The relief was that one did not need internet to do this because there wasn't any except in the bar and even there it was really S  L  O  W!
