I think the reason why it has taken me so long to do so, is because there was no great crisis, no bad weather to report and no spectacular scenery, as in previous stages!
The only doubt we had in our mind about whether the walk would take place was the thick fog the day earlier!!
So, in preparation for an early finish, we took 3 cars up and placed them at the beginning, middle and end of the walk! It was going to be a very long day, whatever the weather, as this was 1 of the longest stages...22 miles! The 1st photo shows the start of the walk from Shap at 7.45 am
As you can see, we had some sheep intervention whilst Margaret worked out where we were!
