A shame that I wasn't able to venture north for this. Good to hear
that Mark! and Lisa are on good form and that you kept Hebden Bridge
funky.
Lisa is really disappointed that you couldn't meet us anywhere (not me,
though... <sniff>... really... doesn't bother me at all... <sob>).
Anyway, even though we thought of this walk as a one-off, we're not
thinking that we want to do the whole Pennine Way - probably in one-week
stages - because it's just too beautiful. Lovely towns, scenery and
people. Even though I have to translate for Lisa a lot of thew time
(really). Having a mum who grew up in Yorkshire is finally paying off.
So, we'll be back.
Today was a relatively short (13 miles) from Ponden to West Marton.
Hilly but not brutally so. We're staying in a wonderful little B&B where
a chicken just walked down (not across) the road in front of our window.
This qualifies as a Genuine Yorkshire Experience in my book.
It's been difficult to get good photographs, with the weather and
lighting proving uncooperative, but I think I might have a few keepers.
Haven't even browsed them yet, though. We're averaging 15 miles a day,
which is pretty damned good over this terrain, but it doesn't leave much
time for anything else: Wake up, have breakfast, walk until 5:00 or so,
check in, clean up, pop down the pub for food and a couple of pints and
then in bed by about 9:00. It's tiring but splendid.
Photos will come eventually.
