house by Heather. Eaten with loads of brown sauce and at least 3 cups
of tea and I was fueled up and ready to go. (picture above was taken
standing at the bunkhouse front door!!)
We set off down the Swale and headed off up a precarious valley path
to the head of the gill which led to the top of the moor.
Along the path at most points today were the remnants of the old
industrial past of the lead mines of swaledale now long since
silenced. We had lunch at the remains of the old gang smelting mill a
hugely impressive place and headed down to Reeth - the capital of
upper swaledale.
Reeth is a great place to spend an afternoon with many good pubs all
selling a great pint of black sheep. We obviously were obliged to try
them all.
Off to Richmond tomorrow - need to find a laundrette as my sock crisis
is worsening daily!!

p.s WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME!!!
Hello to all. Hope you are having an amazing time and the feet are bearing up. We love the view out of the bunkhouse front door, what an amazing place to stay! Love all the photos, keep them coming.
All is well in sunny Bingham. The girls are excited about going over to North Wales for a few days, a trip to the beach is definitely calling! Roast beef was had by all last night, including Mum. Miss you and have a great day. Love Sarahxxxxxxxxxxxx
