Day 11 - Richmond to Danby Wiske, Leaving The Dales

We left Richmond this morning on a rather wet day. We followed the
river Swale for a good few miles all the way to catterick.

The scenerary changed quickly from dry stone walls to hedges. No
sheep just miles and miles of agricultural land. This is the vale of
mowbray a fertile strip of land that sits between the dales and the
moors. An area that we must cross to reach the little hamlet of
osmotherley on the edge of the north Yorkshire moors.

We put a good hole in the miles required to make the crossing - some
15 miles today - and are now resting (and drinking!!) in the black
bull at great smeaton.

Brekfast orders have been taken and I am getting back on the wagon
tomorrow - the full monty will be eaten. I got a bit posh this
morning and had smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and toasted muffins but
ted gave us a talking to and I will be back on it tomorrow!!

Anyway off to bed ready for the upcoming warm weather ( fingers crossed)
